Poem Artwork

We are losing time
everyday, every moment.
Look, there…see the second hand moving,
tick tick tick.
Hurry up,
don’t waste it.
Yes, in some things there are second chances.
But in life?
Sorry only one life to a lifetime.
Careful now.
Never forget the golden rule,
"measure twice, cut once."
So contemplate, calculate, dissect.
What is it you really have?
What do you want?
Add the two together.
Just remember
when adding a positive to a negative
the result is something less than what you started with.
Add two positives together
and wow…now you have something immense.
The end of this life formula is
that which you in fact can achieve.
Wishful thinking is fun,
no doubt about it.
But where is the reward in a fantasy?
Take your life and lead it.
Do not sit and tick tick tick time by.
For as you wait for fate to catch up to your dreams
time has passed you by.
