Time



Precious is time

Every second, Every moment counts

Always shine

Strive to climb to the highest mounts

Never give in, never cease to believe

Time isn't yours or mine

Only got a short while to achieve

With every tick of clock let the second be kind

Don't worry because no seconds will be added

Cherish each moment and sight

Always feel elated and never jaded

Never forfeit a chance to give delight

Don't spend time stuck in worldly fright

With love ensure all your time glistens bright
