Time And Life

Time was created at the Big Bang 

Unleashed

No way it can be retrieved 

Every moment ahead is new


A life commences at birth 

Leashed by time 

No way aging can be halted

Each moment ahead we get older


Our worn bodies 

Long for new beginnings 

Every new year we make wishes 

Hoping for a fresh and better start


While the new year only subtracts 

One more year from our mortal lives

Eventually life will be defeated by time
