Friends with Time

How did it get so late so soon?
It was midnight, now it's tomorrow noon.

The sands of time are flowing
Quickly, quickly, without slowing

The hands, albeit with grace
Move swiftly across the clock's face.

But what's important isn't the time
It's that life is so sublime.

It's how your time has been spent
Bringing love and joy to each moment.

It's not about how much, it's about how
It's not past or future, the present is now.

So watch the clock - and if you must, hurry
But don't let it make you worry.

Your life is special, it's a precious jewel
Just be yourself and spend your time well.

Ah, time, time, all of us lament
But it's just a reminder to do what we were meant.

So don't think of time as your foe
Time is your forever friend, you know!
