Time to grow...it's a lifetime thing
It's when we change with life
Maybe seeking some room to expand
Even find a way to keep this love growing
That's when we take the weeds of life
Out...so we have room to grow & thrive
Growing in the sense of continuing a cycle
Right from the dawn of time...until now
Over & over...we're left to life's devices
When we must take the time...time to grow

I liked the touches of repetition that influence how the poem was read and interpreted. My favourite line was "Even find a way to keep this love growing" because I think that the use of 'even' changed the meaning completely. Good luck in the contest
