Moments of Time CM

Two things in life we can't deny
View time of birth or when we die.
So in-between time ticks away
Know what we do will count each day.

Wise men will keep their time well-paced
Arise then fools, their time they'll waste
Our time creates our greatest test
Power each moment, do your best.

Dear Christine, your fantastic poem delivers a clear and thoughtful message about the importance of time in our lives. It uses a straightforward rhyme scheme that makes it easy to follow and understand. The contrast between wise and foolish use of time is effectively highlighted, encouraging readers to make the most of each moment.

Between being born and dieing is the gamble that many take without true thought. Hopefully we are not gamblers here.
