Time Will Tell?!

julie leyraud 1960 (USA)

To stumble again,
oh, how the heart aches.
What must be accomplished,
to win in this race?
Pushing intensley,
leaving pain to remain.
The ultimate question,
Will one lose or gain?
Life never pays mind,
to what is just or fair.
Oft time revealing to one,
more than one's share.
Deep within the soul,
feeling the ghastly blow!
Frantically turning, even,
hurling to and fro.
Crack! sounds the branch!
in the furious wind.
Time will Tell
will it Break or Bend?
