Entirely Up To You
Life slips away like a passing thought;
enjoyed, and then, the moment is lost.
And yet, each second is precious when
Man's mortality must bear the cost.
Time favors the impetuous young
by slowing down to extend their play.
To them, a week's an eternity,
and a moment can feel like a day.
But as the years drop like falling leaves,
time significantly picks up speed.
And though you may wish that it would slow,
time, can but continue to proceed.
We see time as either friend or foe;
although neither assertion is true.
It is how you perceive time that counts;
and that is entirely up to you.
