Time is like a bird,
It whisks through the sky
As we marvel at its grace
The moments of love,
Those tender caresses,
Suddenly it spreads its wings
The shouts of joy,
Cover-your-mouth experiences,
Suddenly it soars, high into the clouds
The lazy moments,
The idle hours,
Suddenly it flutters away
The tears of anguish,
Thoughts of despair,
Suddenly the bird falls down
The hugs and smiles,
Encouraging voices,
Suddenly it spreads its wings once more
Time is like a bird
We can embrace it or let it be free
But never will we capture it.
