Maya Angelou

‘Passing Time’.

Here’s a short poem from probably the best-known African-American poet of the twentieth century, Maya Angelou (1928-2014). The title itself acknowledges a dual meaning: time passes and we inevitably grow older, but we also pass time doing a variety of things, caught up in the daily business of living, and we don’t always realise how much time has passed and how much we’ve changed.
