The Moments We're Missing

I won't let time claim a win
And be the enemy
Nor protest that life has moved
So fast behind of me

There comes a point we all reflect
And wonder where it's gone
Where most of us live in the past
Refusing to move on

And I don't worry getting old
But glad I'm still alive
Because I know there'll be many souls
Who did not survive

It doesn't matter what year you turn
It should never go downhill
Don't let it be a regret in life
That you did not fulfill

Remember when you were young
And you did not complain
With every spare moment found
You'd play your favorite game

I think we overprioritize
When work seems to obsess
That we'll use this to value life
And judge all our success

Don't be fooled that's all there is
Where all you do is give
And let this vicious cycle rule
Where you forget how to live

Instead create a memory
With family and your friends
And don't look for that same excuse
But try to make amends

I'd want to look back with a smile
On how my life was spent
Rather than let it pass me by
Then wonder where it went...
