Measuring Time
sabrine Apr 2013
Time can be measured in
Days and months
Time can be measured in
Kisses and hugs

Time can be measured in
Tragedies and pain
Time can be measured in
How many lions are tamed

Time can be measured in
Clouds in the sky
Time can be measured in
Tears that I cry

Time can be measured in
Tests taken
Time can be measured in
Plates of bacon

Time can be measured in
Promises broken
Time can be measured in
Words spoken

Time can be measured in
Ticks and tocks
Time can be measured in
Seconds on the clock

Time can be measured in
Various ways
Time can be measured in
Months and days

Time can be measured in
However you like
But my favorite measurement
Is the melting of ice
i wrote this in 5 minutes and i put it on here because it reminds me of a children's book and who doesn't love (quiet) children???

Is it measured in photos
that you take all together?
Is it measured in moments
captured, immortalised forever?
Is it measured in numbers
on my own Facebook profile?
Is it measured in hearts
on my Instagram story?
Is it measured in coolness
when you hang with the "crew"?
Is it measured by how you all look
when others see you?
Is it measured by unplanned days
hanging out and having fun?
Is it measured in decibels
of laughter in the sun?
Is it measured by phone calls
when you need each other?
Is it measured by the love
that you all hold for one another?
Is friendship measured by strictly tangible means?
Or is it measured by all of these things?
And if by chance, that friend should no longer be near,
would all that it's measured disappear?
