Time is this moment and lasts forever

It is right now, time it ends never

Time is later and has just been

It’s always around us but has never been seen

With time we age, with time we grow

Time it needs for wisdom to show

Sometimes we’d like to stop it but we never will

No matter what, it will never stand still

Whatever we go through with time we will hear

Time will go by and better we will feel

Time is endless, it always will be

Time is expensive, even though it comes for free.
