Time and Without Time

What Do We Do with the Time?

Time is now, and next is without time.

Do we go on and live for this day? Or go to the next step,

Where time has gone away? Live on in this shell that's yes,

an existence. How can we stay like this, just waiting for the next step?

Time at seventeen seemed so far away, golly, it took forever but, alas,

it made it to today. Without time to go forward, maybe we should go back,

stop waiting for the next step. Why bother waiting, why not just live this day?

Take a look around us, people broken every day. Money can not buy reality.

Money can not buy time. Let me live it over, give me seventeen anytime!

Ten years goes by so quickly. Golly, look at that small boy. Another ten

years flew bye too quickly, look he goes there-a football star. Ten more years

went by rapidly, do you see the pain on the young man's face? He went to

war for his country, lost his friends and came home alone. Time came along

beside him, gave him wife and family; made him not so lonesome. Ten more

years went by so swiftly, he began to ache and wrinkle. Without time, he

moves more slowly, but he thinks as young as ten.

Give me time to live it all again. Without time I cannot do this. Let me relive all

this all over, and this time, I know what to do. I won't make those mistakes

that I made o'er and o'er. Give me just one more chance, I beg you. Let me

live just one time more.
