Time

A lot can be learned by the passing of time. From the tick and the tock of a clock and it's chime. Unable to control it's speed never slowing, Not able to hasten it or stop it from going. The eternal pendulum swings to and fro, As we constantly pray for it not to go. Time continues on it's desired course, Never thinking twice or feeling remorse. We may think it lax as we impatiently wait, Or too quick when we laugh and happily congregate. It mends our broken hearts with every tick and tock, Teaching us to be strong even when we think we are not. Like a thief in the night it steals our younger years, But grants us wisdom through the struggles and tears. We waste it like we have an endless amount, Only to realize to late that every second counts. So as time ticks away the years from our lives, Let our love and forgiveness to no one deprive. For life is too short to live wondering what ifs, Because time stops for no man or any that wish.
