Finding Time

I can buy almost everything I need All of the essentials, paid with my credentials Sideline items, and pleasurable travels Scrumptious food and sweets to fit my mood. I do need to borrow some time Many places to go, when I’m feeling just so No sales on the windows or flyers at the door Nor bargain basements, no other replacements Going online no web sites were found Searching for time that can be all mine Doesn’t belong to anyone or anything It has a purpose, but not in surplus Time is running out, I need a reserve If I had time to spare I wouldn’t care It’s precious but cannot be replaced No choice for other kinds, remember best of times. Time passes by and quickly out of sight Can’t reach out and take, for my own sake Unable to roll it up and pack it away Can’t save it when needed, wish it was deeded Time on the clock, time on your hands Whatever you have, just fill in the gap Cannot see it and cannot hold it Doesn’t take a rest, use it at best
