Not enough Time

When we were younger we could race in the horizon

When were younger we could party and get high all night

When we were younger we could get lost and fall in love

When we were younger we could run away into a strange new world

 

Every moment was an adventure

Every experience was a challenge

Every day was brilliant

Every night was special

 

Nothing was more beautiful as when we were younger

 

Now looking back

Can’t believe how fast time has gone

Look how far we’ve come

Look how fast our children have grown

And how much do we have to show for it

 

There is not enough time in this world

To laugh

To live

And to love

 

There is not enough time in this world

To work

To dream

To play

And to tell the people that we love that we love them

 

So lets love right now

Lets laugh right now

And play right now

Lets dream right now

And live right now

Lets sing right now

And dance right now

 

There simply isn’t enough time in this world

 

When we were younger we could race in the horizon

When were younger we could party and get high all night

When we were younger we could get lost and fall in love

When we were younger we could run away into a strange new world

Every day was brilliant

Every night was special

 

Nothing was more beautiful as when we were younger

 

So lets love right now

Lets laugh right now

And play right now

Lets dream right now

And live right now

Lets sing right now

And dance right now

 

Every moment must count

Every heartbeat must last

Every occasion must move

Every experience must hurt

Lets live every moment as if it were the last

 

There is simply not enough time in this world

 

To work

To dream

To play

And to tell the people that we love that we love them

This almost sounds as if it were to be lyrics to a song of some sort! Thanks for asking me to review it. Cheers!

very lyrical and very true. This is an honest, real piece. Well done.

I always love reading your work, every time I stop by to read it, there is always something new for me to enjoy. You have such a wonderful rhythm and flow to your work and there is always such truth and emotion in the words. I loved this, as usual.

amazing how fast time flies by... lovely piece of writing...

[Lady Of Darkness]

Time has gone by very swiftly, it is a very precious thing
I like the message that comes across with this piece
The time to live, laugh and play is now because it is unsure how long we are to live in this world.
Beautifully written

a very deep and lyrical piece..i could sing it to myself... great flow and structure.. :)

i loved the line :And to tell the people that we love that we love them... for it first struck me as a mistaken repetition..but reading it again.. i realised the wonderful use of device by you...

another line that simply carved itself on the walls of my mind.. is :Every experience must hurt... wonderful..for we need to live and love not just the happiness..but also pain..which has it's own unmatchable beauty... a single line speaks volumes of the enigma called life...

the lines :Look how far we've come
Look how fast our children have grown...
adorn your work further.. myself a kiddo.. it makes me jitter ..oohh maa.. my kids (ok..nt giving this a thought ever in life..am a kiddo forever..)...but coming from the heart of a parent.. it indeed is beautiful to see a part of your ownself grow into an individual..with his own persona... someone who's existence is your reason for survival...nature's most beautiful symbiotic relationship ever... relationship of not just blood..but relationship of heartbeats...
the repetition used is awesome..and this piece surely goes into my favourite's list... :)

take care and keep smiling..:)

You made me feel so old at such a young age, but i feel ooohhh what a beautiful work. a drink to nostalgia and times we can't get back. I hear a voice, wise and still loving random bits of life flowing so strongly in this. what a beautiful piece.

[Butterflymom]

Very beautiful, and the sentiment very well expressed. Time does pass too quickly, and looking back it's like a flash. It would be wonderful if we could hang on to the enthusiam and abandon of our youth. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece.
