Time
Seconds tick by and the hour hand spins round.
Time wasted moments lost that can never be found.
Gone forever minutes you never get back.
Before you know it the lights go out and everything turns black.
Your legacy is gone forgotten no one remembers you were even here.
Your just a name on a rock with a date from a long forgotten year.
And soon that rock gets weathered and that name and date to are lost eroded away.
A certainty like the night will give light to the day.
No one lives forever and centuries erase the memories of the past.
Life is over in an instant and nothing truly lasts.
The history books are only kind to a few
And the stories told by those books are rarely accurate or true.
So make the most of the time your given so maybe your legacy will live on.
Because before you know it your existence and everything you ever loved
