Precious Now!

It's not your friend so don't ever rely on it

it will drift back into the past and fly into the future

It has been known to take your beauty and your youth 

Eventually it will bring about the whole awful truth 

This is a very precious thing so don't you waste it

It won't heal wounds only leaving scars 

It is not broken so don't try to fix it 

It knows no boundaries or rules 

It can keep you away from your loved ones

It might be short or very very long

You can put a rhythm to it or sing it in a song

It can't be hindered or helped at all

It will never care about your inner feelings

Don't let it take away your heartfelt dreams

When you have none of it left you always want more

You will change through it without ever realizing 

It goes on whether you do or not

Yours will be gone before you know it

It won't speed up or slow down for you

It will never ever stop it's momentum 

So you better make the most of yours

Before it drags you through the years

Bringing light to your darkest fears

Be very aware that this is now
