TIME

The gift we've all been given
Cannot ask for more
When it ends, so does the living
Like waves upon the shore
Slowly washing breath away
Consumes us to the core


When its gone, its gone
No way to replace it
Every new day
Wake up to face it


Time will go on
With or without us, slipping away
wasting away
Will it be well spent
Or on our own selfish gains

What do we have to show
From our lives lived on this earth
Will we make the best of time, or will it run out first
