Now and Then

Time truly is a valuable thing
Once it is lost, it's never regained.
Some will say they see time fly
while others sit and watch it go by.

Some people have too much time on their hands
and the days of their lives pass with the sands.
Others hands are tied to the minutes tight wound
and they count every one in perpetual countdown.

Some borrow tomorrow for where yesterday went
But time cannot be borrowed, saved, invested or spent.
Treasure today for as long as it lasts
Don't count on tomorrow or lose time on the past.

Now is the time and the time is at hand
to reflect only a moment so that you understand.
It's worth more than your money and less than your life
so swallow your pride and open your eyes.

It can never be stopped. Forever it moves.
You can count on yours ending without a second to lose.
It will bury you one day as the fates do allow
You can be late then but don't let it be now.
