Desolation of Time
Death comes to all, including the passing of time
Encapsulated within are lessons and memories
Some are best forgotten that we can learn from
Only if we are willing to learn we may understand
Leaving things as they were cannot keep going on
As we will keep making the same mistakes again
Time to take stock of what we truly want to leave
Is the memories that tomorrow generation knows
Opportunities are bountiful from learning rightly
Nothing can't be undone if there is still the time
Only we can now have the impact of tomorrow's
Free for our future generations to keep moving
Tomorrow, it may not be as bright as it was today
It is still an opportunity for us to make a change
Memories will also change our past mistakes
Even when time is finally over for each one of us
