A Mayfly said to his mate
"I've been searching for algae for 5 minutes
it was such a long time
most of my life has gone by"
a Painted Lady said to his mate
"do you realise we've been waiting a whole day!
It took so long for our friends from Spain to arrive
most of our lives have gone by"
A Wren said to her chicks
"you're going to have to fend for yourselves now!
I've looked after you for a whole month
and most of my life has gone by"
an old Oak tree stretched out it's branches
"I've been in this wood for over a hundred years
and I have seen many things come and go
yet when I think back it seems just like 5 minutes"

Was just trying to illustrate that the 'passing of time' is all relative. Taken from poemblog27.blogspot.com
