Time

Don't waste the time I don't have,

Each moment slips through my grasp,

Like sand sifting through fingers,

Time, a relentless thief,

Stealing my precious minutes,

Leaving me with empty hands,


I long to seize the day,

To savor every fleeting second,

But time eludes me,

A ghostly presence,

Haunting my every move,

Whispering reminders of mortality,


I yearn to make memories,

To imprint my existence,

On the fabric of time,

But the clock keeps ticking,

Relentlessly counting down,

A reminder of my finite existence,


So I plead with you,

Don't waste the time I don't have,

For each passing moment,

Is a treasure beyond measure,

A gift to be cherished,

Before it slips away.
