• The Seconds that tick as the clock moves along
  Are Privates who march with a spirit so strong.
  The Minutes are Captains. The Hours of the day
  Are Officers brave, who lead on to the fray.
  So, remember, when tempted to loiter and dream
  You've an army at hand; your command is supreme;
  And question yourself, as it goes on review--
  Had it helped in the fight with the best it could do?
