Time

Everyone I know,
is so very busy.
I feel I need a break,
running on empty.

We run around hurrying,
paying close attention to clocks.
But time is the only thief,
who knows no locks.

As a human being,
our lifespan is short.
So we have no choice,
our priorities we must sort.

We can’t save the world,
no matter how we act.
We only hope our gestures,
make a small impact.

We are all so focused,
looking for a purpose.
When our goals should be,
just not being worthless.

Another hour, day or week,
goes by lightning fast.
Enjoy the time you are given,
it’s not meant to last.
