Time Is Not Ours

Poets write about it
Songs are sung about it
Authors write about it
We all talk about it


We want more and more of it
But do we use it right?
We would give anything for an extra bit
And what we get we hold tight


We make plans on how to use
Bur most fall in the dust
We can’t negotiate a truce
And it not something we can trust


It controls us day after day
We ask do we have enough
To work, shop and play
And we can’t call its bluff


Time is not ours to own
So, welcome every moment we get
What is before us is unknown
So, enjoy your time here and now and never fret.
