Time

Take a minute and sit right down 
And take a good look all around

We start our lives as babe,s in hand 
Our parents have all kinds of plans

Needing help with everything we do 
Before you know it we are going to school

Those years fly past before you know 
Your no longer a child your fully grown

To start a life with a career 
Making plans for coming years

Some of us will marry have children and then 
It all starts to go round again

Your children grow up and fly the nest 
Now its your time to take a rest

Again the years go flying by 
Your getting old but still you try

To keep going until you can no more 
Do things you want and wonder whats in store

For our hearts are like a big old clock 
Ticking until one day it stops

Live everyday like its your last 
For life goes past so very fast
