I am told time flies on the wings of lightning
Just within a flash it’s all gone from the eyes
Like the struck of a match
You see it appear for a moment then it’s gone
And all left are memories that cannot be reversed.
Giving light unto anything beneath its boundaries
But just when you thought you have had it all,
It gives out it loud cry that echoes to the depth of the ears
Blatantly taking back the light it gave.
Careful how you go about with time
Because when you lose the joy of the moment,
You lose sight thereof.
Showing how violent it could be, if manhandled.
We are but given a little of it here
So embrace the good and the bad
Miss not out when opportunity calls
Embracing every adventure, it gives out to nature
To enjoy the smile of the little ones with innocent souls.
Who know nothing about how this life could be.
