These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Dansa: "The Passages of Time"

The passages of Time, replete,
are filled with wondrous joys to live
with hopeful moment gifts to give
as friendship's loving, daily treat,
the passages of Time, replete.

Some coffee or tea and food to thrive
make comforting moments blest, we strive.
This living with friends each day, repeat,
These passages are of Time, replete.

To give our all the depths we dive
the betterment of Man, our drive.
Each need of others dare to meet
the passages of Time, replete.

In twists and turns, we dance and jive,
our tetrazzini mixed with chive.
All hopeful morns we smile to greet
the passages of Time, replete.

Quite trippingly ev'ry tongue's alive
the faux pas of life we must forgive.
How wondrous a party on the street
The passages are of Time, replete.

Each jaunty toe will Sad deprive.
Each heart with wonder we'll revive.
Each cup of tea will be most sweet
with passages of Time, replete.
