Tick tock goes the clock
Time passes by without a stop
Moments lost and memories gain
Live life to the fullest, before time goes in vain

Life rushes past before our eyes
Moments come and fade away
So live in the present, cherish today.

Medium Poems

1. “The Swift Passage of Time”

The swift passage of time
Is like a river running free
It flows so quickly by
Like water to the sea

Days turn into weeks
And weeks into years
Moments slip away
As we shed our tears

We try to hold on
To all that we hold dear
But time keeps moving on
Without any fear

So cherish every moment
And savor every breath
For time waits for no one
And life is but a test

2. “The Timeless Beauty of Nature”

The timeless beauty of nature
Is a sight to behold
From the rising of the sun
To the colors of the sunset gold

The mountains stand tall
And the rivers run deep
The trees sway in the breeze
And the flowers gently sleep

Each moment is a masterpiece
A work of art so divine
That captures our soul
And leaves us feeling fine

So take a moment to see
The beauty all around
For in the timeless beauty of nature
True peace and love are found

3. “The Value of Time”

The value of time
Is something we all know
For each second that ticks by
Is a debt we all owe

The past is gone forever
And the future’s yet to come
The present is a gift
That we should never shun

For time is our most precious asset
A gift that we should treasure
And use it wisely and well
For a life of love and pleasure

So let us make the most of our time
And live each moment to the full
For life is a precious gift
And time is its precious jewel.

Long Poems

The Passage of Time

Tick tock goes the clock,
Measuring seconds as they pass on by,
Minutes slip by like grains of sand,
Taken by a constant and steady hand.

Hours stretch before us wide,
Days crawling at a snail’s pace,
Weeks turning quickly into months,
A blur of memories taking place.

Seasons come and go like the wind,
Leaves changing colors before they fall,
Nature’s rhythm a constant reminder,
Of the passage of time for one and all.

Youthful days spent dreaming bright,
Adulthood hurried by with a cry,
Old age creeping in before we know,
Time marching on with a steady flow.

Things that once seemed so important,
Now pale in comparison to time’s flight,
Years of living each adding up,
To a life that’s always on the move.

Some stand still, caught in the past,
Others look forward with hopeful eyes,
But time never ceases its march,
Continuing on until the end of our lives.

In the end, what will we remember,
Of the time we spent while we were here?
Will it be filled with love and laughter,
Or regrets for what could have been near?

Life is precious, time fleeting,
Live each moment with care,
For time is but a fleeting gift,
Before it vanishes in thin air.
