Time

Time There is the essence of time in space, that we are not aware There is a quality of time, that we wish we all could share There may be times when you feel that time is on your side Or time can be an eternity, lost somewhere in the great divide There are timelines that we impose upon our daily lives There are timetables that we set forth and attempt to strive There are timeouts, whenever we believe events have gone awry There are timeframes, life's memoirs lost in the sweet bye and bye We have timepieces we wear, they remind us to be there We have timekeepers, to tell us we should always be aware We have timeshares, that are meant to share a part of you with me We achieve timeworn, a reflection of what was and what must be Never be timed with what you really want to achieve Allow yourself to be timeless in what you truly believe If we all live our lives with humility in a timely manner Then our time spent on this earth shall truly matter Within every second, minute, hour, day and year Like the rhythmic beating of your heart you hear Every breath you take, is such a true gift everyday Because one day, father time will take it all away Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock Within the beating of our hearts, like a time clock
