Fantastic verse ands long lined too. You are a great poet. Time halting the plume your pen. Keep writing ten of ten

A very thoughtful poem. Time is merciless, taking it's toll on all of us. Money will not buy an additional minute, and skills of a poet will unforgivingly end despite the beauty of the rhymes we leave behind. The best we can hope for, besides making the best of the time we have here, is to leave something behind that still brings fond memories to those left here. And hopefully, as your poem says, time will leave our innocent rhyme in intact health. Nice rhythm and rhyming. I enjoyed your poem very much.
You are one brilliant African poet whose works I have been reading lately...! Am super proud of you! Keep knitting wooing words!
