Hungry Clocks

The greatest fear someone should have is time,

For time goes by and brings us lots of change.

We must stay joyful as we’re in our prime,

Because it’s certain that we will all age.

Before looking forward we must see now.

Ask “Who am I?” and “Who will I soon be?”

Life’s far too short to always wonder how;

Sorrow chains you down—smile and you’ll be free.

Identity is hard to figure out.

What others see is only one small part;

No one but you knows what you’re all about.

Knowing oneself gives them a big head start.

Live fully and keep fighting ‘till you win,

For time eats lives as soon as lives begin.
