What is a second?
It is all in the eye of the beholder I say
For a child at play, it is an entire day
For the unfortunate man on the street, it is an unending day
What is a second?
A mere moment of eternity’s work at play
It is the seedling popping out in May
It is the last of the sunlight’s ray
What is a second?
The hair on an elder’s head turning gray
The woman weeping in great dismay
And the moment she kneels down and begins to pray
What is a second?
You are the second
You are the second, the first, and the third
You are what you sought now, before, and after
The second is you.
Wow.
