Slaves to Time

Tick tock, Tick tock
The ever-booming, miniscule sound
     cannot help but remind us
     that time is fleeting
We are not as in control as we think
We are slaves
     Slaves to the never-ending power of time
     that still seems to
     slip through our fingers
Why does it take a tragedy to remind us how
     fragile life is?
How precious?
There is no telling when our time is up
No assurance that we have forever
All we can do is make
     everyday count
Smile. Give. Love. Be.
Dream as big as the world
Reach towards other constellations
     Smile to those who aren't acknowledged
     Give your time and talent to someone every day
     Love the people who make your life better
     Be the person who you want to be
Time doesn't care
But you can.
