The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

As time passes
I think more of past times
of the good times I had
and the times that passed me by,
of the time spent on pastimes,
of time wasted and gone.
of time passing slowly
of time flying fast.
Then I think of times coming
that I must catch as they pass
and grasp and enjoy them
before my time has passed

Is this time a virtue that we see?
Or is what we see to be believed
Can endless longing remain so?
To be in the moment or neglect so.

Is this time a virtue that we see?
Or is it simply a delusion of sight
that is not to be believed.

Is this time a virtue that we see?
Oh please, for a moment let me believe.
