AS THE TIME PASSES

Love is all we have.
And our people are spending the time fighting,
A fight that is pointless and yet happens.
As we grow old we have more knowledge.
Knowledge that we store in our wonderful brains for greater use,
We will learn to be kinder, or at least I hope.
Our time is precious.
And before you know it 24 hours are gone.
24 hours in which we could have completed our life’s desire,
As we go to sleep tomorrow comes.
We dream special dreams that are kept in our heads.
Special dreams that are gone from your brain before the first light of dawn
In 50 years, I wonder what the world will become.
Will it be peace or war?
That is for you to find out.
As our eyes shut for the final time your life is over.
