Time is on my side says the patient man,
waiting for the moment to show his hand.

And yet time is no one’s friend,
it wins the long-game in the end.

Moments are very soon to pass
for those who thought it would last.

As if next-time would always be there,
because the last-time failed to declare.

And time will not be banked says the wise man,
it is to be spent before slipping through your hand.

The gift of present-time we should all be aware
is the most precious thing this life can share.
