Time Will Tell
~Time Will Tell~
Time passes us by today
Life is short and yet we pray
For much more time
No time left no time to play
No time - not even to pray
Theft is a crime
The thief of time who can slay?
He steals our lives we are prey
Not much more time…
Hopes not fulfilled from our prime
Dreams not come true, the bells chime
Counting the hours.
It’s up hill the path to climb
Life is hard, there is no mime
Smell the flowers.
The hours drip out like a rhyme
Drip drip, drip, there is no time…
Who has power?
From the edge of a tower
Look over and the skyline scour
Beauty surrounds
Breathe in life, you have the power
Find time to smell the flower
Life is around…
Look take stock now is the hour
Grasp time back take the power
Hold- life abounds…
