The Universe is Forever

A clock ticks -
Tick, tock.

A child plays with his feet,
wearing no socks.

Time flies,
the child cries.

He grows older,
and he does not know what to do.

There is nothing he can do to stop it.

He is the same as me and you.

And then one day,
he wakes up!
He sees the world with great wonder,
and as time passes he sees all there is.

He is calm now.
He is peaceful.
Because he knows,
the Universe is forever.
