Time

Who would think time would fly so fast
Before we know it's all in the past
But some things will always remain
Simple memories arise again

What's gone we can't undo
In the now we can carry on through
On to tomorrow a new day awaits
Oh how we love these earthly rates

For mother earth and the turning tide
She creates the caves and places to hide
The flowing energy of the steady water
Where some can watch the playful otter

When Father sky decides the weather
Through rain or shine we can stand together
When the birds they fly so high
With the freedom we long for so we just sigh

In the clear of night the stars will shine
A guidance to what's yours and then what's mine
Under the stars while in the dark the night so still
The light is clear and our thoughts go where they will

Where memories come to life like a dancing flame
When we are told to shed the self created blame
Where all doubts are cast aside to make way
For room for light and positives this day

So what has gone before you is now behind you
So aim to look forward in all you do
Respect yourself and what's in your surround
For there's more to life that what's seen around

For Mother Earth is past, Future and ever present
Father Sky is much the same always omnipresent
Time, yes it's fast but don't wish it away
Take the step one at a time and enjoy today
