Time

Time tried to wait for you

She spoke to her seconds

Persuaded them to move slowly

But nature knows best

So you smiled and embraced time

As time sat heavily on your shoulders

Your face grow weary

And as much as you tried

To rub the lines off your face

Time grow ever so persistent

She tracked across your face

And drew her precious contours

 

Through your struggles, time remained true

She was faithful and never left your side

She was precise and vigilant

She stole no second from you

Or awarded you extra

She taught you how to manage yourself

She taught you patience

Persistence through all those long hours

She taught you habit through repetition

And crafted you, molded and made you strong

 

So, you are not to blame time

You are not to waste time

You are not to take time for granted

Thinking you stealing or saving it

Your allocation is just right

And within this life time

You should make the best use of your time

Every moment, every foot step that you take

Because you can never get time back
