Time is a road that goes only one way.
The Road Goes Ever On

The road goes ever on
From the door and across the lawn

Pursing its path with young eager feet
Following on a longer way it will meet
As far as I can, growing old, tired, and weak

The road goes ever away
From the door where I no longer can stay

Guilty of cowardice or being shy
Too many times I let fate pass by
When journeys twist and tie

The road goes ever forward
From the door to crossings treasured

At places where journeys blend
A stranger becomes a friend
Having adventures both attend

The road goes ever past
Starting slow then racing fast
