Time is a hard thing to crack
Can't steal back the smallest shard
Guard best with strongest barred rack
Still lack! You reap no reward


It will be lost while in sight
Trust not might it won't change cost
Frost cannot freeze its swift flight
Each bite to its track is tossed


So we will climb and take note
In rhythm float moment's rhyme
And mime love's light chime gloat
Each dote to stop ticking time
