GIVEN
TIME
We
were given time,
did we use it, abuse it?
Why were we given time -
to waste?
A
second missed from a minute
is a lost jewel from a precious crown,
so wear a crown that’s not complete -
race against time, gain defeat.
Take
a moment, a loving kiss,
savor it for years in marital bliss,
but beat me to the winning line,
and I’ll cry in my world -
alone in my time.
