So Much Time
A baby at 5,
Sitting on the bricks.
You have so much time,
And you spend it selling sticks.
A kid at 10,
Writing his own name.
You have so much time,
And you spend it playing games.
A boy at 15,
Playing with a ball.
You have so much time,
And you spend it against a wall.
A loser at 20,
Making my own mess.
You have so much time,
And you spend it on regrets.
A person at 25,
Out learning the world.
You have so much time,
And you spend it on a girl.
A man at 30,
Finally standing up.
You have so much time,
And you spend it on love.
Young boy, hear this now,
Or soon learn on your own.
You always have so much time,
Until you don’t.
