They are here today and gone again tomorrow,
Those were the days that brought joy and sorrow.
Time will not wait for any man,
So make the most of life while you can.
It was only yesterday that school came to an end,
And now to school my children I must send.
But it seems that they were born yesterday,
Before you know it grandchildren soon, any day.
Life is short so live it the best way you dare,
As there are many people who just don't care.
They don't care about friends or a partner,
They just want attention or to be a martyr.
Procrastination is the thief of time,
But I have better things to do with mine.
We are here for a reason that is sure,
Don't look at life through some small aperture.
A day is short only twenty four hours,
We must make the most of what we do with ours.
It seems that I was born a short while ago,
So tell me please where does all the time go.
