Time Turns Around


Hours and minutes are not worth the count,
Decades fly by to build up a century,
Most of us dont make it to a hundred years,
So each day should be lived like the last,
Because time does turn around.

Not long ago we all walked on four,
Sooner now I might turn seventy four,
Well that is what God and friends are for,
To make us get through each day strong,
In no time, time turns around.

Mama cleaned up and took good care of me,
Now she needs someone to mush her rice,
I grew tall and strong, her old and weak,
It is time I do her good like she did ages ago,
Because time has come around.

Born rich died in the gutters of poverty,
Miserable young memories, left wife fortunes,
From the invisible, came out irresistable,
All creation, ends in mere dust,
For time always turns around.

Spend what you can, when you can,
While air is free, do not hold your breath,
Rise and fall, be ready for both,
Give it all genuinely, like it was offered to you,
Because we are never too sure, how time turns around.
