THE BEST OF TIME

I never knew but now I know
Time ticks smooth but never slow
Since each second marks a record
I'll act fast with a particular method
I'll proceed to succeed and never retreat
Hoping for victory and never defeat

I aimed at the peak as I reached for mine
I felt so weak so I trusted time
It slipped and made me fall
But I got to my feet cos I must not crawl
With my head up I stood up so tall
And the words of my mind I had to recall

Time is a friendly foe; this I surely know
It comes for a purpose and is ever ready to go
It moves so swift seeming so slow
Passing us by just as we grow
Take every bit and return what you owe
For what you shall reap is just what you sow
