Grow Faster

My life is not going to last that long

This body of mine will wither quite soon

My heart though it loves forever strong

Will be a distant echo as the unheard beating that once came from my womb

 

My mind can be occupied still

And withstand the time impeding

Yet do not rely so proudly upon assumed will

For time to your bidding is unheeding

 

Patience I have and more do I gather

For you I have foreseen are worth the wait

Yet as my death approaches the less I can fathom

And so too deceases our predestined fate
