    1. Time is the changing in seasons
      We are born into the cold of the winter
      Surviving through those months
      We then arrive in the warmth of the spring
      We live our adolescence in those beautiful months
      As we mature it is like the summer
      Wiser and stronger than the spring
      That aging continues into the fall
      We start to wither like the leaves
      We fall and bring the next generation into the new winter

  2. Time can be a flow of corruption coming at you
    It can either break you or make you a stronger person
    As time goes by the corruption can hit you in any way
    It can be money, a relationship, or even family time
    Corruption can hit you in anyway and there’s only a matter of time
    That it can ruin you.

  3. Time is like a newborn child
    It’s constantly changing
    Shaped by what’s going on around it
    Sometimes for the better
    And sometimes for the worse
    Time is like a newborn child
    Because no two are exactly the same
    Just like no two moments are the same
    Sometimes it’s good
    And sometimes it’s bad
    Time is like a newborn child

  4. Time is like the earth
    It just keeps rotating and rotating
    There is no way to stop it
    You don’t really think about it that much
    You don’t even feel the movement of time
    Just Like you don’t feel the earth moving
    You know it is moving, but you just don’t really care.

  5. Time is in control
    You can never take over
    Life is based on the clock
    You need to be at a certain place at a certain hour
    Not whenever we want
    Or you could be out of a job or late for school
    We are not able to defeat something that is not tangible

  6. Time is a beating heart.
    The heart keeps the body moving,
    Just as time keeps the world turning.
    Time won’t stop until the world completely ends
    The heart will stop when it’s finished the job
    The heart knows what it wants
    Just like time knows when the moment is right

  7. Time is the road,
    A road can go on forever, when you’re in a hurry,
    Time goes slow when you’re waiting for something,
    Sometimes the day can go by fast when there is no rush,
    Sometimes the longest roads can seem so short,
    Time can stop at any second,
    The road will no longer continue

  8. Time is an ocean
    Its waters always in motion
    Crashing and churning
    Dark and mysterious
    It will always be there
    Stretching on and on
    As far as the eye can see
    Presenting its endless possibilities at my feet
    There is an end out there
    But I don’t know where
    Or when

  9. Time is like a river
    The force of its current can push us along
    Helping us achieve our goals
    But if we try to work against it,
    It can hold us back
    And prevent us from getting where we want.
    Just like a river, time has its bumps
    It may feel like,
    At those times,
    That you will not get out okay,
    But once you reach a calm part
    Everything is peaceful again
    You will never learn what hides behind the river’s bend
    Life is unpredictable

  10. Time is a desert.
    There are always ups and downs,
    Just like how we have good times and bad.
    The dessert can seem to go on for eternity,
    Just as we all know time has done.
    None of us can see the end of time,
    Like when we don’t know where the vast desert may end.

  12. Time is life,
    Every time something happens, it never stops
    Life doesn’t wait for you,
    Time moves on with or without you,
    It doesn’t work according to your life schedule,
    You work with life, it doesn’t always have to work with you
    They say, “Life goes on.”
    So does time, I wish I had a pause button.
    But I don’t.

  13. Time is a battlefield
    Time can make a person wait
    Time makes people change
    It makes changes in a person’s life
    It kills people
    It creates wounds in the heart
    Only one side can win
    The person or the time
    There can only be so much a person can handle
    It’s a war that will never stop
    Each person will face this battlefield

  14. Time is an untrustworthy friend
    It fools us to believe that everything will be okay.
    It comforts us to know that in TIME we will feel better,
    But it never lets us be happy.
    Past times catches up to us making matters worse.
    You can never trust time.

  15. Time is a river
    and our life is like a boat
    We row right on it
    If we fall we’ll begin to float
    Wave would be the bumps
    And rocks would be our end
    Because boats are easy to break
    The sun can be the light
    And the water can be our guide

  16. Time is a beach
    Every memory is a sand grain that is being created
    And each memory fits it’s self together with the millions of others
    They all form to create days, months, and years
    The rocks that sit there in the middle of all the years are mile stones
    Big moments in time that cannot, shall not be moved
    Then the ocean that rushes up onto the shore is what takes away the time
    It takes away our time and is a sign of aging
    The beach of time is never ending and always making another second
    with every grain

  17. Time is your opposing enemy
    It always moves against you
    When things go wrong,
    and you are miserable
    it crawls slowly like a snail
    When everything is perfect
    and you are enjoying yourself
    it moves fast as lightning
    and if you waste time
    it will sneak right past you
    before you know it
    you are out of time
    time never works according to your standards
    you have to work according to time’s standards
    It can’t be stopped or hastened
    it is a constant battle
    if you waste too much time
    then time will have its victory
    if you manage it well
    then the victory is yours
    until you die
    you and time are constantly at war
    and it’s up to you
    how many times you’ll win the battle

  18. Time is the love between a family
    Going on for eternity
    Never losing hold of it
    Never acknowledging that it exists
    Never knowing how precious it is
    Knowing after it is too late
    Powerful as death
    Incapable of being destroyed
    Everlasting until death
    Continuing as if there is no end

  19. Time is money,
    So I went and bought a Rolex,
    Money takes time to make,
    So without time,
    Money cannot be made,
    Time can be anything,
    But I use time for money,
    When I think of money
    I think of the time that it takes to make it,
    So in essence, time is money

  20. Time is the smooth, white sand blanketing the beach:
    I think I have it all, as I run my fingers through its grains,
    Until the waves crash against the shore, taking it all away.
    As the cool water recedes back into the ocean,
    It seems like I’ll never have my precious sand again;
    The only evidence I have left is the one still resting in my hands,
    Seeping through my fingers,
    Until I have none left.

  21. Time is something that we always look at.
    During the school day I always want to know the time.
    Time is something that keeps us humans on a schedule.
    It alerts us to accomplish a certain task.
    We need time so that we don’t lose ourselves.
    Without time we wouldn’t accomplish anything that we need to accomplish.
    The world would go into chaos.
    Time is essential.

  22. Time is a monologue
    It is different for every person
    Events shape how people perceive time
    As they associate events with time
    It also changes as it goes on
    For an old man, it is a precious privilege
    For a young boy, it’s just the past and nothing more
    But it shapes you
    As think about the monologue that is your life.

  23. Time is an expansive ocean
    The waves move constantly,
    Unceasingly
    Filling the entire universe with their beauty
    And every time someone makes a choice,
    They drop a pebble into the ocean.
    The ripples start small, but grow.
    In time, those ripples become waves
    And the flow of the water has changed.
    Though we may think that the pebbles we drop
    Are insignificant compared to the expansive ocean
    A single choice can alter the future,
    And change the world forever.

  24. Time is the ocean
    No one can tell it what to do
    It just keeps flowing
    It holds many wonders
    People constantly try to affect it
    You always think you can see the horizon at the end
    But you will never know if it’s really the end

  25. Time is tiny
    You don’t have that much time
    To fix your mistakes
    Go fix all of your mistakes before
    Your love ones get hurt
    Time can have effect on your life
    If you don’t fix it you will regret it
    Time is going to hunt you
    Fix your problem before time stops you.

  26. Time is a wild horse
    A creature that runs free
    Racing when you want it to halt
    Unreasonable and uncontrollable
    One can try to slow it down
    Or even make it run
    But this horse has a will of its own
    A danger to those who try to tame this wild beast

  27. Ticking away, the clock continues
    Counting down on my life
    Time is a cage, ensnaring us in its grip
    Ticking and tocking, the clock is a constant reminder
    That we don’t have much time left to live
    People try to flee from their demise
    But nobody can out run time
    Time is a trap that drains your life
    There is no escape from this chronophobia
