Can we as men comprehend The value of time Or is time a commodity much to rare To be assessed by our feeble mind Can time be bought for gain Or for wealth be bought or sold Does time posses a value Such as diamonds or as gold Is time it's self a currency To be saved as an investment Should a return be expected As we prepare for retirement Could time be a hidden treasure An object we seek to posses To add to what time we think we have Do we over this thought obsess We as men want so much Of what we cannot see For we men know not how much time Is alloted to you and me While we are breathing life Unseen time is always appearing And at the very same moment Unseen time is disappearing So,what is the value of time? Will the answer by man be ever revealed Or will this mystery that plaques mans mind From his knowledge forever be sealed. RLB

The Value of Time
Can we as men comprehend The value of time Or is time a commodity much to rare To be assessed by our feeble mind Can time be bought for gain Or for wealth be bought or sold Does time posses a value Such as diamonds or as gold Is time it's self a currency To be saved as an investment Should a return be expected As we prepare for retirement Could time be a hidden treasure An object we seek to posses To add to what time we think we have Do we over this thought obsess We as men want so much Of what we cannot see For we men know not how much time Is alloted to you and me While we are breathing life Unseen time is always appearing And at the very same moment Unseen time is disappearing So,what is the value of time? Will the answer by man be ever revealed Or will this mystery that plaques mans mind From his knowledge forever be sealed. RLB
