About This Quote

The poem “The Trick with Time” is a dedication of the poet to her best friend. The poem tells of a time when they were together and had some time to kill. One day, they decided to go out and have fun, but there was a problem – the sun was going down and the sky was getting darker. So they decided to take a walk, and at one point, you can read that he stopped and asked her if she wanted him to make the sun rise again. She thought it was sweet, but she told him that she loved the way it looked from the ground up.
