Time Is Running Out

 

Time is running out as life keeps rushing by

So much to do with so little time to do them

And no spare hours to wonder why

Reflection is the slowing down

Of body and mind and soul

We all should face reviewing thoughts

Before we close the door.

Running away from facing the pain

Of the examination of life’s worn path

Is an escape we can’t take

Or a fake we can’t make

But we all must face the test

Have we passed or have we failed.

And so life goes on till the end of our days

We wonder if our deeds are good and they pay

And what will become of us if we’re wrong

How do we turn and become really strong?
