Time

Time is free, 
 Most waste it away.
   Unaware of it,
 All night and all day.
 
   Time is valuable, we treat it
  like it's worthless.
   As you age, 
 Time, I wish I could purchase.

   Time passes slowly, 
 But it goes by really fast.
   The older you become the
 More you live in the past.

   Time can linger in the moments,
 Gone the next.
   It can bring enlightenment or 
 Leave you a nervous wreck.

   Time is a special gift, yet we
 Take it for granted.
   It can whisk you off
 To the land of enchanted.

   Time can pass you by, but you
 Can't change it.
   There are times you will
 Try to rearrange it.

   Time can bring many memories,
 Yet, it allows a bad dream.
   It can be an ally, or let
 You blow off steam.

   Time can be an enemy
 Or a friend.
   It can hold you back or,
 Smack you on the rear-end.
 
   Time is constant,
 It never sleeps.
   It can calm you,
 And give you the creeps.
 
   Time that is lost,
 Can never be found.
   Always present and
 Eternity bound.
