Time

I am time; you can’t escape,

Only borrow, give, and take.

Countless seconds each pass by;

Catch and chase, or watch me fly.

I am time; your friend and foe.

I’ve seen you live and change and grow.

I take the things you like and love,

And weave them into thoughts thereof.

Use me wisely, oh human soul,

For I am strict within my role.

I leave regret to those around

Who keep their lives to money bound.

I am time; with knowledge vast,

I hold your future and your past.

So listen to me when I say:

Use me as if it’s your last day.
