taking one day at a time

time ticks as it always does
never seizing, no nothings, no buts
so we take time as it is
same as we take one foot forward towards the doors

maybe it's naive of me to think i have power over time
perhaps a semblance of control
an illusion of dominance
in reality, time has a hold on us all

most if not all waste time
we squander them like swine
and worse, we think we'll take it back sometime

who are we to boast
who are we to say that we have dominion over time
time heals as well as steals
and we have nothing to do with its will

time in fact has power over all
it's forces beyond our rule
time wasted can no longer be brought back
all we have is to look at future's back
and look behind at past's face
then handle today as if it's our last

send forth your command
surrender to times control and hand
let it bend you and mold you as will possible
as we glide through its forces, and yield to its control
