Time won’t wait,
Like a feisty pocket watch,
It keeps moving forward,
Never looking back.
Clocks don’t hesitate,
They won’t pause nor contemplate;
Don't wander down a rabbit hole
With an unsettled goal.
Springtime is often impatient,
And the evergreen won’t stay;
Even the sugar maple leaf
Loses its vibrant self away.
So don’t be late...
To the life that’s calling you;
Some chances fall like sand through glass
And leave no grain for you.
