Tick-Tock

Time is of the essence, it's up to you to learn it's lessons.

When the clock is ticking down, that's when you take note of it's presence.

When you catch sight of it's face, it's gaze you can't escape.

The minutes crawl on by, sometimes day after day.

Often similar to the rain, hours falling grain by grain.

How some just end puddled up, while others wash right down the drain.
