Time

Time is a most precious thing
Some let it fly and others they cling

Some want to save it some want to spend it
Some want to sell it and some want to lend it

We each have time after we are born
Some alot some very little and some from it are torn

One thing we all have in common concerning time 
It is that we all waste it in kind

We all miss it once it is gone
We all wish we could make it last long

We all take it for granted 
We all fail to replant it

In this reality of digital distraction
We miss time and fail to take action

No one is guaranteed the next second of time
So make good use of it before it is gone like the end of this rhyme

The most precious commodity next to love and life itself. And yet it is ignored like an old book on a shelf.
