People that steal time

People that steal time







It is a little known fact



That people do steal time



They grab their moments as we pass by



Unobserved they take, we know not why.







You took my time, as you take life



From free spirit to now your wife



Each moment is lived through your time



Now all that was is now yours, none is mine







Every second that I live



You make sure I have none to give



To others that greet and spare their time



Now all that was is now yours, none is mine







Sleep is such a precious thing



Yet even this is kept away



How I dream of reading alone with my book!  



But you steal each second with your hook.







If I arise a little earlier, to enjoy a coffee to read a paper



My eyes are tired and sleep deprived



It wasent as if I hadent tried



A few precious moments that give enjoyment, mine not yours







And when I choose to write



And words flow with every right



You call and call, with all your might



Now all that was is now yours, none is mine
