Yes, This Moment Is Precious

The wheel of Time keeps turning on,
Precious moments swiftly gone.
O mortal, pause and awaken—
The moments once gone can never return again.

Moment by moment, an hour is born,
Hour by hour, a day is formed.
Day by day, the months unfold,
And years weave the tapestry of time untold.

So laugh, so live, give all you can,
Pour your whole heart into the present span.
Fill every passing moment bright,
With colours of joy, with love and light.

Today, all seems beautifully arranged,
And every moment brings hope anew;
But remember—the present will pass away,
And struggles will return to challenge you.

A morsel of food may one day be rare,
And hunger may become your burden to bear.
Gather your courage, summon your might,
Rise, O fearless warrior, and stand upright.

In the vast battlefield of Time,
Like an ocean where countless treasures lie,
Dive through its depths with courage true,
And gather the priceless pearls meant for you.

Within the span of your earthly life,
There will come moments that will shine;
And generations yet to come
Will proudly speak your name through time.
