How Can So Little Time Hold So Much Life
Hear me read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Watch me read
the poem as
an MP4 file.
How can so little time hold so much life?
All these changes in just three short years!
Praised be those who put aside their fears,
Pleased to live and love as man and wife.
Yet so much change without brings change within.
The person who once was no longer is.
Home is ours, no longer hers or his.
Infants demand more than one has been.
Rivers are much muddier than streams,
Deeper and more rich with life than dreams.
