Time Compressed

A time to play
A time to get serious
A time to put kid behavior away
A time to be delirious

There are times when growing up is necessary
When parents will no longer do everything
When you have to get your own
Do for yourself and be grown

You can't continue procrastinating
Take a chance and fly with your own two wings
To stand on your own two feet
And to supply your own needs

Do so before it's too late
Because time doesn't discriminate
Don't make the biggest mistake of your life
And let life pass you by

Be a success
And nothing less
Live life to the fullest
And be filled with nothing but greatness
