Time

Ami Anderson 1986

It moves slow until you want more
It speeds up when you need it to wait
We only get a limited amount
And no control over when we lose it

Time is precious, a gift is all
We run, laugh, cry, hate, love
Build bonds and friendships
That get taken away as a reminder

Enjoy each and every second
Live laugh play and love
Value each moment
For it could suddenly be the last

Cherish and remember
Hold in your heart forever
Till one day you meet again
When time is no longer a factor
