Timewasters

Clock watching by day

Hoping, waiting for each second to pass.

This has happened for years now.

And at night,

Hoping for the clock to slow down.

The time always passes

Especially at night

Because at night we are busy

And by day we waste Time.

Soon all the days will be passing

Before we realise we have

Wished them all away

And done nothing.

We’ll want to slow time down

So we can start doing the things

We’d always planned to.

The things we’d always talked about

But could never find the Time.
