The value of time

Tick, Tick, Tick
The years of life pass,
Slow but faster than,
the seasons of the earth,
Life a blink of the eye,
Age as drops of rain.


It was all but yesterday,
A little child in my mother's womb.


Where did time go,
Where was I all this while,
Floating through air,
While the years passed,
Existing but not living,
Where did time go.


Now I wake but time is gone,
Few years left but time to live.
