It's Ours

Life comes at us way too fast,
One minute you’re young and then you’re old,
It is always catching up on us,
It is like an imaginary force fading us away,
Forever wondering whether its grip will tighten on us,

When we grow old we begin to wonder,
About how we used our time,
All of our seconds, minutes, hours, days and years,
It all adds up,
Everything matters,

As the seconds pass…
We reflect,
Of the life we have been given,
Our family and friends,
Our dreams, our hopes, our aspirations,

As the minutes pass…
We see what fell through the cracks,
The times we held back,
The opportunities we missed,
Times we went wrong,

As the hours pass…
We look back on what we learned,
The people who inspired us and made us strive for our best,
The people who we taught,
The memories we made,

As the days pass…
We regret the things which we did,
We feel remorseful to the people we hurt,
We feel guilt, sorrow and shame,
We look for forgiveness,

As the years pass…
We reflect,
On the relationships we made,
The people we met,
Our growth,

This is something you can never replace.
You only get so much,
It’s not unlimited,
It’s not infinite,
So how are you going to use yours?
