Once all knew how to take their time
Without the rushing every day~
Once all had time to stop and think
Of late time how it slips away~
I hear them all the time I do
Jets away up in the sky~
People at top speed going somewhere
Seems so many passing by~
Above those little lines of mist
Straight and ever fine~
So many cross the planet every day
In the smallest amount of time~
Time is moving ahead so swiftly
And it's changing all the while~
Life it can be so different
Within the simple measure of a mile~
Once time seemed to move much slower
Well to me it seemed to do~
Of late many lives are changing every day
As if no such thing as spare time it's true~
Once one could plan so far ahead
If one could simply take ones time
So a mind could handle all~
To maybe do things better on the day
So that better times they could call~
Too many quick decisions
Time it needs more respect~
Lives could be better all round it's so
If we slowed down some I suspect~
Always rushing here and there
Now one simply never knows~
How life will be in the shortest time
And of late that's how it goes~
