Time

Quintin Albrecht 2005 (Cody)

Time passes ever so fast
The world is spinning round and round
Our lives in the moment, fleeting and brief
A reminder to savor each sound


The future uncertain, the present unclear
It's hard to know what's right or how to steer
Take time to pause and reflect
Find courage in life's darkest depths


Look for the beauty in all that you see
Learn all the lessons that life can teach
Cherish every moment and never forget
That life is a precious gift


For life can be a blessing yet a mystery too
The journey is yours, make the most of it true
Take courage and strength from within
And make sure to always live in the moment.
