An unseen hand turns the pages of time
And ages fly by but the sky still remains,
And does the range of humanity change?
Time, it seems, has been a poor teacher,
And history, too, an ill-sought preacher;
Thus the same lessons are taught
And oh-so very quickly forgotten
By unruly pupils who never do graduate
But so contemptuously self-congratulate
For achievements that grow cold
As their age grows old with time
As that unseen hand turns another page,
And for all our rage, we pass as shadows
Into the frightful blight of historic night,
But the sky still remains and gives rain
To wash away the stain of our humanity
. . .
An unseen hand turns the pages of time,
Page after page, age upon age upon age
Oh time, time, always against us.
Yes, but we have time enough to learn better ways for brighter days … if only we will! Thank you so much for your comment! Blessings to you…
You are absolutely right. And don’t mention it, it is always such a pleasure. I don’t always comment, but believe me, I am ready. Stay amazing

Yes an unseen hand who only know each and everyone of us and he knows what to do and where we are all going to be placed. He is the master placer and whatever you name Him. He just IS.
