Well, little one, I’ll tell you:
Time doesn’t always wait for you
It is precious
It is limited
It is valuable
And it’s terrifying
Sometimes we can get sucked into Time itself
Needing to be somewhere,
Missing a deadline
Running late
It feels like Time is suffocating you
Not letting go of you
And you can never make Time for what you love
But Time is just a number
It has no potential power
Without the numbers it would just be you
So, don’t you try racing the clock
Don’t you keep chasing pavements
Slow down
Watch your moments
Connect from one to the next
Add layers to the painting
Enjoy the ride
One day you will realize what a beautiful masterpiece you created
For I’m still patient
I’m still accepting Time doesn’t always wait for you
