Luckily
Or unluckily

Luckily,
You can buy shoes
You can lose shoes
For it is yours
Right then
Right there
There after
After then.

You can buy houses
You can lose houses
For it is yours.

You can buy vehicles
You can lose vehicles
For it is yours.

You can buy masterpieces
You can lose masterpieces
For it is yours.

You can buy gratitudes
You can lose gratitudes
For it is yours.

You can buy attentions
You can lose attentions
For it is yours.

You can buy relics
You can lose relics
For it is yours.

You can buy moulds
You can lose moulds
For it is yours.

You can buy agenda
You can lose agenda
For it is yours.

You can buy stakes
You can lose stakes
For it is yours.

You can buy time
Luckily
You cannot lose time
Tend it
Attend it
You just can't have it
It is not wrapped yet
Try it
Watch it
Clock it
Lose it
It is ever attended!!
