Tick-Tock Goes the Clock: The Value of Time
Tick-tock goes the clock,
The seconds slip away,
Each moment, precious and unique,
A chance to seize the day.
The value of time cannot be measured,
For it's a priceless treasure,
Once it's gone, it can't be regained,
It's gone forever, without measure.
Every day is a gift, a chance to grow,
To learn, to love, to explore,
To chase your dreams and make them real,
To find what you're living for.
So don't waste your time on petty things,
On things that don't matter in the end,
Focus on what's truly important,
On the people and things that matter, my friend.
Tick-tock goes the clock,
The moments slip away,
Make the most of every second,
And live your life today.
