It's Just a Matter of Time

Clocks come in all shapes and sizes…

We lose an hour,
then we gain.
This time-change thing
is such a pain.
Springing forward,
falling back,
yet time flies either way.

Our years of youth
have long since flown.
We blinked
and our babies are full-grown.
The sand grains
in our hour-glass
give way to gravity.

We simply
can’t control the time.
And that’s the reason
for this rhyme.
Life’s currency
is ours to spend.
It’s how we spend
that counts!
