TIME:

For each one of us
It starts with a breath,
And only gets shorter
The more that we get.

It's something so simple
Yet so complexed,
It makes up our day
And on to the next.

It's past and present
All rolled into one,
Our journey in life
All that we've done.

It's steady and sure
As a matter of fact,
Always moving forward
To where we are at.

It's a glimmer of hope
Of whats yet to come,
Or a lifetime of memories
From when it begun.

It's equal to all
That still press on,
But cut short to those
That's already gone.

It can't pass you by
Cause it is what we do,
Our blueprint in history
All we've been through.

It's our measure of space
Our document of action,
Our period of chance
Until our extraction.

So use it all wisely
For we have but a share,
So bask in the moment
And take in some air.

It's a gift not a given
Been known to fly,
So it can be gone
In the blink of an eye.

So live laugh and love
With each ticking hand,
And enjoy your piece
As long as you can.

It fades over years
The older we get,
When it's all lived up
Then that's all of it.
