Father Time
Oh! Father Time, please help us to understand
Why as children we had plenty of time.
As teenagers going in to adulthood it felt like we could
Live forever.
We didn't have a clue.
That as we got older our days would fly by so much
Faster.
Your the one who controls how much sand
Flows through the hour glass on command.
Daylight savings time was to give us that extra hour
At the end of the day.
When we went back to regular time
Time still slipped through our fingers
Which your telling us you can't undo.
What there's no replay!
The turth is we're only here for a short while before
We're taken to another rendezvous.
Your saying the best advice you can give
To us Is don't wish our life away
Enjoy each and every day.
There is no rain check or I.O.U.
Be that special person
There doesn't have to be a reason.
Show your family you care,
Let them know you did hear
And how much you held life dear.
Oh! Father Time, please help our children as they travel
Through time to realize that everyone is prey
To the sand as it flows.
