Analysis of It's About Time



It's about time...
Hesitated to waste,
More of it each day.
Procrastinating.

It's about time!
Blessed to receive.
From birth given to believe,
That which is man-made stays as is.
Forever with breath to breathe,
Never leaves.
Awaiting to sit,
As we choose to do whatever we please.
Especially when young.
Taking for granted a growing to age,
Has a long time to come to be done.

It's about time.
To notice more...
After observing many moons and sunsets,
Pass to awaken us to realize...
Memories kept to reminisce,
Do not fade away.
Withering quickly too fast not to delay,
Aging older to get each day.
Incapable for anyone to resist this to wish,
Time spent to waste...
Before it becomes too late to convince it,
That our dreams to wish them...
Never it is too late.
As long as there is time to find...
To make up our minds.
Before time speeds by to remove,
Thoughts to delude and fiction truth.
And the reality of it,
No one aging with this to arrive...
With eyes opened wide.
No longer attempting or try to deny...
Allowing their time to waste.
There is not a mirror that lies.
Nor replaces an ache or pain to erase.
The evidence to face is all about time!
To believe man-made or not,
It comes to go.
Like everything God creates.
Not meant to stay permanently in place!
