Time

As the shades of night are falling
At the ending of the day –
I wonder if I’ve used time wisely
Or just squandered it away.
 
Time is so very precious
And the hours pass swiftly by –
What one does must be done quickly
Lest the shades of night draw nigh.
 
At each new day’s dawning
A new challenge does appear –
And with time quickly fleeting
Grasp the challenge while it’s near.
 
Time does not stand still
It just marches on and on –
And before one hardly knows it.
So son, one year is gone.
