Time Rebounds

Hours, minutes, seconds…
  --- Time rebounds ---
To give you options, what to do
To stop or to move
To fall or to stand
To reach below or above
What to do, as time rebounds
Hours, minutes, seconds,
   --- Valuable time ---
To be silent or to speak
To read or to write
To stay or to leave
To walk or to run
Time rebounds only so long with more
Hours, minutes, seconds…
To move forward or retreat
To have fun or to stay put
To spend or to save
To give or to take
Time for love to create
Hours, minutes, seconds…
To make the most of your life each day
