Borrowed Time

Forever in youth, Last
But with time forever soon pass
One day you wake up without reason or rhyme
And realize your living on Borrowed Time

Days zoom by and night is for sleep
Suddenly it's important for promises to keep
Always right you can now be wrong
For those you love it's time to get along

Wishes and dreams are on a check list
Now you honestly try to give it your best
You go to places you vowed never to miss
Seeking ways for all to be Bless

Middle Age, "Old" you have become
But Life is just starting, your on the run
Experiencing things you long to savor
Enjoying the world with all its flavor

Repented and forgiving with love in your heart
No need for hate when you finally depart
Life is a personal experience you just have to live
When Borrowed Time is all you have left to give
