The Time Is Ticking Away. Poem by Vin Ace

Look on ahead the path is clear.
Tick tock, my friend the time passeth.
Sit not, look up the journey is far,
Worry not, stand up and begin the stride.

The hands of the clock wait not for you,
The journey to take has a time frame.
The distance so long and stressful it seems,
One step at a time the gap recedes.

The distance gone, look not long at.
For prices won glory a short while.
Yes happy it is the achievement you have,
Make sure celebrations slow you not down.

Are you just there not setting a pace?
Or you're revelling in your past fame.
Look up the time is ticking away,
Stand up and run, more miles away.
