Precious Treasure

Time is a treasure,

Significant and precious.

Time is flowing sand,

Something we can't hold in hand.

How precious is time,

To waste it is a crime.

Time is a powerful tool,

If you misuse it you are a fool.

An inch of time is an inch of gold,

This is what we are always told.

But once you waste it,'

You won't be able to freely sit.

Given enough time, we will turn to dust,

Cars, ships, and trains will all turn into rust.

To return to the earth from where they all came,

With the passage of time, nothing remains quite the same
