Time’s Arrow You only have this one moment you cannot make it last For time flies like an arrow it’s here then gone so fast You can’t hold onto to time, it simply can’t be done The more you try to halt it the faster it seems to run Don’t waste your time dreaming of what you would like to do Use your time wisely for this moment belongs to you Live each and every moment relish each brand new day Somewhere in your moments you’ll find love along the way You only have this second this moment in which to be Give your soul to the moment use your time constructively This moment in time is fleeting don’t lose it in airy dreams Never waste an instant in chasing foolish schemes You have this precious second you’ll never have this again Yield to the magic of the moment use it to light your flame Don’t live your life muted don’t let time fade and die Somewhere in your moments you’ll see that you can fly You only have this instant you cannot stem times tide The river of time runs by so fast and this you cannot hide It hurries on so quickly never pausing in its flight Days flow by so swiftly to give way to starry night You have to make each second count live each single one For before you really notice your time here will be done So make each moment special do what you wish to do Some when in your moments you’ll see time belongs to you Marsha To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

I can't hold or keep time, but I CAN keep your words Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
