It is all around us

When you have too much of it

It still isn’t enough


Never able to physically touch it

But you can still

Give it away


When it slows down

You

Speed up


When you need it

You never have enough of it


When you don’t need it

You have too much of it


This word

TIME

4 letters describing something you can’t touch

But you always have to have it on you


The author's comments:

I always ask my parents what they think time is. I never understood how we as humans could give names to things that are not tangible. This poem is what happens when you give a curious thirteen year old girl twenty minutes to write a poem about something that confuses her.
