More Time.

yesterday I saw an old man who stop me and said what time is it? He was dressed in a ratty old coat and a black cap, yet there was something about his eyes as if he knew all there was to know about life. I know my mother use to say be careful of who you talk to, you may be in the presences of angels, so I always made my self respectful to others. I said to the old man its 3:00 p.m. , he said ok more time more time, so I was puzzeled and ask him what does that mean? He said people need more time. I said with a curiosity in my voice more time for what I said ? he look at me and smile, and he said time is the bases for living, when you are as old as I am you will understand that more time is just that more time. I ponder to think what that ment, and I guess I would know when I am as old as he, but for now I will always remember the oldest eyes I ever saw saying more time more time.
