One thing no one’s wealth can buy
The gift of time no gold can weigh.
You are always spending it away
With the risk of being forever alone.
Continual work gives time its wings,
While busy one heeds not its flight.
Will you be too busy for me
And allow this moment to zoom by?
But for those who love, time is eternity.
If I have a task to do, now’s the time!
If I could bottle the time I have,
I would give you all to wedge me in.
Will you then look on me with kind eyes,
And say he doubtless did his best to bring
The change that could come to you and me
So that we may grow old together instead?
