Time

Time can be whatever we want 
Our enemy or our friend 
It tells us when to start our day 
Or when it has to end 

It reminds us we're important 
The appointments we must keep 
Or how much time is sacrificed 
Each time we fall asleep 

It robs our children's innocence 
Each day as they grow old 
And gives us precious memories 
As the years for us unfold 

Time will be the death of us 
For all things have to end 
So til there's no more numbers 
Time will be our friend

Profound script. Thought provoking. Glad you lliked my Zoo thing. Cruise leaves on 27 Nov. I'm trying to get your mother-in-law a ticket on Titanic II.
