Time

Time can pass you by so quickly

In a second you might have everything

In the next, it’s gone just as swiftly

Every happy moment is perishing

Because all good things must meet their demise

And we never stop to treasure it

Time slipping away despite our cries

As rapidly as the cracks can permit

But life is not about how long it feels

It is not about anticipation

Cherish everything and all that reveals

All of the beauty and exploration

Time can pass you by so laggardly

When you smell the flowers and love all gladly
