As Time Hurries On
The rain went away
and the sun came out to stay.
The winds died down
and it became a lovely day.
So it is as time hurries on,
things change,
times change
and we’re like on a magic carpet ride.
Sailing through time –
sometimes on calm, sometimes on stormy seas.
But each minute and hour of our days,
it’s so important what our family and friends say.
As time hurries on,
It takes all it needs from your life.
Let time,
give you a chance for happiness.
Remember that you are the captain
of your own ship.
You are the only one,
who can steer it clear of disaster,
making sure to avoid the rough cliffs,
that rise before you –
as time hurries on.
Only you can turn the tide,
make it work in your favor.
Find a lighthouse,
that will bring you into a safe harbor.
Let time enfold
and cradle you.
Live each day,
as if tomorrow won’t ever come.
As time hurries on,
you’ll see,
that there will be special memories,
forever shining brightly.
No matter if it seems,
as though we’re living on borrowed time,
if we do it right –
we can have a wonderful life.
Don’t keep looking back,
at the hands of time.
Enjoy what you have
and count your blessings every day.
The sands in your hourglass,
should glitter with gold
and your life always be filled with love –
as time hurries on.
