Patricia Wulf - Time

In the painfullest moments, Time creeps slowly by
(she, the cruel trickster, yet of so much value)
and in the luckiest moments, she'll very soon fly.

But!

When patience abounds and charity never ends
and when there's love in the home, and also respect
time pleasantly flows, an eternal effect.
