Time is a trickster
Children with laughter
Girl of looks
Woman with regrets
Boy of dreams
Man with statue
Time is a trickster
Respect is deemed
Another year passes
A gray hair shouts
Laughing at the folly
But still I have doubts
Time is a trickster
Tomorrow it seems
Flies into today
Past now I lean
Forever a moment
Slides by with a wink
Time is a trickster
Leaving all to think
Dreams of tomorrow
In the lake do they sink.
