time is closing in
clocks wind at a dizzying pace
each second lost
like a crumpled dream
a second less to find your name
life goes whooshing past
people dying every day
oblivious to how they've rushed through life
blind to the precious moments they've lost
their time has run out
you have minuets to spare
how will your life be different
how will you show what you have to share
take time to make an impact
change a life
answer a prayer
