Analysis of Time
Precious is time
Every second, Every moment counts
Strive to climb to the highest mounts
Never give in, never cease to believe
Time isn't yours or mine
Only got a short while to achieve
With every tick of clock let the second be kind
Don't worry because no seconds will be added
Cherish each moment and sight
Always feel elated and never jaded
Never forfeit a chance to give delight
Don't spend time stuck in worldly fright
With love ensure all your time glistens bright
