Time

Seconds are ticking by swiftly In the eternal song of time, With the rhythm of each moment The clock begins to sigh Its hands are set in motion Never to go back, The present ever fleeting And the haunting of the past There are infinite possibilities Each day bestows on us We must seize them quickly Before procrastination steals them 7-4-2020

"Hands are set in motion, never to go back" You are exactly right. Time moves and we move along with it. Moments never end. We must embrace each and every one. ~ Brandy
