When an action or process Or condition continues The point when something happens Like receiving timely news. Being the proper season As the time to fall in love, Or the end of a lifetime When you go below/above. You can also make time, too Or you can waste it away Where the hands on a clock point Hours and minutes in a day. You can be in time or out Or do time if you do wrong You can do it to engines -- To put rhythm in a song. One times one is still alone And can make times very hard And you can spend all your life Punching on a time card. It can spring forward, fall back You can march to it and dance You can change what you have left If you've the nerve to take the chance. You can pay a price for it Or you can get it for free You can have it on your hands Too much can drive you crazy. It's something that is infinite When it's gone, it's gone forever You can buy anything on it A house or refrigerator. You can have easy ones, too And you can have lonely ones Or you can have a good one -- It's seconds or millenniums. At times, not enough of it Just enough for a small taste But it's usually our own fault It's a shame all that we waste. Del "Abe" Jones |
