No Stopping Time

No Stopping Time

By emily2u | From the Heart | 21 Sep 2021


As the seconds tick by

Wrinkles line my face;

Greys pop from my scalp

Time, it runs at its own pace.   

 

Who can stop Father Time? 

Absolutely no one, big or small;

For he who governs life

And dictates the length for all.   

 

Make the best use of each minute

The clock we can't turn back;

Once it's gone, it's gone

Yellow, white or black.   

 

Rubbing sleep from my eyes

It's another day of hustling;

Making the best use of the day

Even when I'm struggling.
