Time

I am the god, the god of time
I can fly in the sky
I cut stuff down when it is time
I have a scythe
I am holding the baby
I have powers
I am an old man
I have grey hairs in my head and in my beard
I am very, very strong
I live in the blue sky
I am the god of time
I have big wings
I am strong
I have wings and can fly to the goddess with the passion of love who gave me her baby to look after
I have an hour-glass
