Tick Tock Against The Clock

Tweet

Tick tock Time is racing against the clock A to-do list undone Leaves no time for any fun Schedules during the week to keep Not enough time to get decent sleep With each month, adds a year Our purpose at times, seems so unclear Keeping up with the days Can sometimes make us lose our way From baby to teen Brings bottles, clothes, and dishes to clean From adulthood to senior moments Dashes in-between, seem unimportant Hustling and bustling to make our mark Stumbling and wandering as if we're in the dark We must embrace the calendar as a dear friend It will keep us focused to the end Appointments listed on a dime Meetings to attend right on time Seasons come, seasons go From spring flowers, to brisk fallen snow Birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays to remember Starting in January, and ending in December Children grow Adults on the go Tick tock Can you hear that clock? The days are limited as we age Less to fill within it's page Then time comes when we have no more to add The weeks are empty, they look rather sad For we all have to one day slumber The final countdown becomes just a number Our calendar says it's last amen But for the rest of the world, it starts all over again Written by: Teresa Trotter
