Time can be measured,
Time can be treasured;
By buying it with work,
Or wasting it with talk;
By using it for good,
Or wishing that it could.
If Time could fix all our woes
We should learn how it goes;
How to stop Time - or at least
Make it go slow.
But Time is an immutable beast,
And even Einstein didn't know
How to stop Time, or at least,
How to husband, how to grow
Our most precious resource -
For all of us are eventually forced,
By merely viewing our reflection,
To heed Time, without exception.
