Time and Change

Time marches on, unstoppable and brave
And with it, changes come, as sure as the wave
Of the ocean that crashes upon the shore
We cannot stop the tide, nor time anymore

The young grow old, their hair turns gray
Their skin grows wrinkled, and memories fade away
The buildings we once knew, crumble to the ground
The landscapes we once roamed, cannot be found

The seasons come and go, with rain and snow
The leaves change color, and the wind begins to blow
The flowers bloom, only to wither and die
The sun rises and sets, in the blink of an eye

Time and change, two forces that never cease
Our lives are but a moment, a glimpse of peace
So cherish each second, love and embrace
For time and change will continue their race

And when we're gone, and the memories remain
May they be a testament, that we did not live in vain
That in the time we had, we loved and cared
And that we left the world, a little more aware.
