Time

Time Stone-faced clock with big black hands Circling the face time and time again The second-hand rolls by a recurring space Never touching the clock with the concrete face Twenty-four hours slowly slide by Not to be changed regardless of tries A second from now, it will be yesterday The time clock moves forward twenty-four hours a day It would be a challenge to push the big hands back Rotation of Earth's twenty-four-hour track The big black hands are always on the move Passed memories are all you can choose By the time you read this poetic line The second has circled the face of time How many times a day do you glance at a clock Or hear the sound tick tock tick tock Time sets schedules for things to do Just like a clock, you're on the move When your face to face with a timepiece, keep this in mind You can change your clock, but you can't change the time.
