About how we should treat time and that life is but a moment in time.
LIFE IS BUT A MOMENT
by: Gregory
2/21/2003

Life is made of moments
Moments are segments of time
Time in forever(infinite)

Life is made of time
Time continues to move ahead
It does not stop for anything
If time stopped Life would end

Time continues on its endless journey
Where it goes it does not care

To not enjoy the present moment
Is to waste that moment forever

Time is different
It cannot be replaced

To waste a moment
Is to loose it forever

So then, why do we begrudge others
When time is so precious

Cannot we see that to do so
Is to waste time

If you need to be a pundit so be it
But do it in a civil manner

In this new err of post 9/11
This rings ever louder

Is life but a game
Some people think so
Others think not.

Some people think life is work and sweat and constant torture.
Others think it is sweet.

As time continues on its endless journey
Where it goes it does not care

It is up to us, the human race, to enjoy the present moment
To not enjoy it is to waste that moment forever

Since life is made of time and time continues to move ahead
It must be used wisely

Time does not stop for anything and it will not come back
If time stopped Life would end

Time is but a moment
A fleeting little moment
