Time

A minute passes then another
in no time become an hour
an hour passes then in time
a day has passed into the night
nighttime goes without a word
silence abounds, nothing heard
but time keeps ticking on the wall
and soon the morning light will call
hours turn to days and then
days to weeks, there is no end
time won't stand still no matter how
we try to squeeze more time and now
weeks have passed, a months gone by
we sit in awe and wonder why
time seems to fly when you least expect
without a care or a small regret
then months they go by faster still
and soon a year of memories have been filled
time is of the moment we've heard it said
the moments passed before it's read
a lifetime passes with just a blink
time is not as long as we think
don't take for granted the time you have
live each moment as if your last
take a chance, don't let time pass you by
then look back and ask yourself why
catch the memories as they are made
time waits for on one it's been said
so, next time you're asked to lend a hand
take charge, don't wait, do all you can
another year, a month at a glance
each day you lived and took a chance
to spend each hour within the minute
a moments passed and you were in it.
