Time


Time today and time tomorrow
Time flies fast and we feel sorrow
 
Time drags on and drops low to the floor
Time waits for you to stand long at the door
 
Time lets us love and love for all
Time makes you hate and causes your fall
 
Time is a day and time is a night
Time last forever and its victims can't fight
 
Time takes a baby and stretches it out
Time makes the old grow short and stout
 
Time knows the past and certainly the present
Time knows the future, it knows your descent
 
Time is a burden and time is a blessing
Time gets you stuck and removes your distressing
 
Time makes you wait 'til you can't live it longer
Time is short so spend it to get stronger
