This poem talks about the importance of time.

1. TIME

2. Time is precious, more precious than a
priceless pearl; only the wise knows the
value ‘tick’, ‘tick’, ‘tick’ it goes, always
forward never backwards, as long as there
is life, time marches on and on, it never
waits for anyone.

3. Time brings memories; memories of the past
and anxiety over the future, what it has in
store. As long as the clock ticks by and makes
its rounds over and over again and again in
circles
So also does history repeats itself, nothing
new happens under the heaven yet time never
stops marching on, taking the lives of people
along with it

4. And the people I saw yesterday very much
alive like the early morning sun full of life
and expectations, expectations of things yet
to come, just in a twinkle of an eye they are
gone forever, never to be seen again
Now they exist only in our memories which
will fade away with time

5. How I wish I can grab hold of time and make
it stop for a moment so that I can arrive on
time at my destiny.

6. Time is precious but does not last forever, if
it slips out of your fingers, it is lost forever,
never to be found again, ‘oh what a great
loss!’

7. On this I hang my hope, that a day will come
when everything will stop, the cock shall
crow no more, the sun shall cease to lend its
light in the day neither shall the stars
brighten the sky at night.

8. Everything shall come to a halt like a
grounded ship, every struggle shall cease,
both the poor, the rich, the beautiful, the
ugly, the good and the bad.
We shall all cease from all struggles and
everything will change.

9. Either for good for the righteous or for worse
for the sinful, the way we live our lives now
will determine how the end will be for us.

10. Lord, teach my heart to be wise to use each
moment of my life as an asset invested in
heaven that when everything finally stops I
will come home smiling, knowing well that I
have an inheritance that last forever, never to
fade away with time.
