Time

Everything we do is guided by Time
You're five minutes early or five minutes late.
We rush from A to B
Would it not be better to stop; and have a cup of tea?

Look at your families
An hour here, a few minutes there
The memories we make,
Are beyond compare.

Work is not everything; its a means to an end.
So stop and think
What is the best thing to do?
Maybe, even, make a new friend or two

So make time for your loved ones
Hold them close and recall,
The good times and the sad times
Remember them all

Time is short
For one minute your loved ones are there
Show them that you care
Whilst in an instance
We don't think that
Their soul can take flight, but then,

Time, is also, a thief in the night.
