PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Our life is consumed by time

with no acknowledgement of what it is to be free

We calculate our life with minutes

Not realizing how little time there really is

Twelve years have gone us by

But many more lost

is there more to come

What will be the cost?

What is time?

Perhaps dwelling in the past

Trying to mend the broken pieces

Simultaneously missing the present

Continuing with our daily needs

Rushing between work and home

Trying to fulfil our wishes?

Trying to accomplish your foretold role

What is time?

Being a parent to your child

Protecting them from the world

Watching them mature, their wishes unfold

A lifetime of responsibility

Guiding them in every need

Projecting wisdom

Encourage their soul to be free

Time is every moment of every day

Whether we dwell in the past

or spent it in the best way

Although it might feel like time is slipping away

Focus on what is to come

Forget about what cannot be changed

For time cannot be rushed nor be tamed

Time... a borrowed gift

Squandered by mankind
