Time

I'm fleeting ruthless and unkind

Don't let me get inside your mind

I cant be seen by mortal eyes

I often catch you by surprise

You try to measure who I am

I'm not your ally or your friend

As years go by a wrinkled frown

You try in vain to slow me down

I set the boundaries strong and true

A finite period just for you

So who am I who undermines

I am the keeper known as time
