Time
We’re looking for more time
Though everyone is given
The same 24 hour amount
Each day that we are living
Your time spent is up to you
If wasted with worry and woe
Those precious moments of time
Slip away before you even know
So schedule your time wisely
But be prepared to rearrange
Because even scheduled time
Is always subject to change
Time brings changes in life
That is certainly meant to be
As each season shifts to another
God’s perfect timing in reality
Time is like little seeds of life
Planted deep in the winter’s cold
That grows beneath the surface
Until the spring begins to unfold
Try to fill your time with joy
While you’re here on this earth
Pull out the joy from deep inside
That is put in your heart at birth
Make time to share with others
Who need more time with you
Sharing happy times together
Radiating in everything you do
Don’t give your time to those
Wanting to take your time away
To use it all up for their own
Selfish and greedy ways
Let’s make every moment count
As time passed becomes a memory
That can only be captured in a photo
And relived in your mind indefinitely
Special times tend to quickly pass
But it’s not really about the amount
Don’t dwell upon the time you’ve lost
For it’s the quality time to count
