Time

My life is a journey that I have to face alone.

I close a door behind me and open one I’ve never known.

Somehow each step I take on this uncertain path,

Moves towards a time that will soon drift into the distant past.

 

I know that hardest times are easier to bear

When I share my love with those I know who show they really care.

Whether my dreams will succeed or whether they will fail

I won’t know till they happen. Till then I’ll plan and wait.

 

Time is past and future. Time can set the pace

Time can mean uncertainty which we must embrace

Time can be a friend or foe depending on your view

Be ready for what comes your way and live your life anew

 

Sometimes a level playing field is stretched out on the road.

Though, stones are thrown my way to burden with a heavy load.

When the world seems stacked against me and my future seems so bleak,

A way out creeps into my life before my heart can bleed.

 

Life isn’t always on my side. I have to duck and dive

To find a way to solve and fix the issues that would take my life.

But when despair just hunts me down I know it won’t be long

Before my life can breathe again and make me feel like I belong.

 

Time is past and future. Time can set the pace

Time can mean uncertainty which we must embrace

Time can be a friend or foe depending on your view

Be ready for what comes your way and live your life anew

 

A generation comes and goes and passes on through time.

We have but just a moment to make a mark then leave behind

The memories that we made and shared and lost along the way

Leaving to the next in line to face each brand new day.

 

Many different paths to take, don’t know which way to go

All that I want, all I can have, the road that’s clear I may never know

I’ll look out for life’s chances and swallow painful pride

Take time to understand life so time stays on my side.

 

Time is past and future. Time can set the pace

Time can mean uncertainty which we must embrace

Time can be a friend or foe depending on your view

Be ready for what comes your way and live your life anew
