Time Pieces

I will not let time pieces
keep me from completing
my aspirations
keeping me on schedule for
things less important than
me!

I will not let false hopes
of being on time
according to the time pieces
kept by others.
I will make my own.
Live life by my own
keep it for myself
not on my wrist or
in my pocket.

I will keep living my
time on this earth until
the earth tells me
my time is up.

As time waits for no man,
I wait for no time on a man’s hand,
or on his wall.
It’s his way of making me
feel small if I’m late.

So I march to the beat
of a different drum.
That doesn’t make me
feel like a bum
or lesser of a man
for it’s all part of my bigger plan

For you see
when my time is up
no bells, whistles or
alarms will be going off.
My eyes will cease to open,
my lungs will not fill with air
I will not hear the sounds,
that make me laugh and smile
It's then, that I know
I am finally on time.
