In My Mind Time Stands Still Poem by Shalom Freedman

In my mind Time stands still
I will always be at least O.K as I am now
But in my mind I know too
Time is relentlessly ticking my doom
And I can only grow older sicker closer to death

I can only come to the time
When there no longer will be any time for me-

In my mind Time stands still
And it doesn't-

Perhaps even on my last day I will imagine
It all going on in the same way
As it always has
Standing still for me
Who has all the Time in the world
To just go on as I am going on now.
