"Time is the thief you cannot banish." Phyllis McGinley, Writer, 1905 - 1978 Time always prepares for attacks, when I believe I have plenty of time trying to show me the dangers and the signs challenging the thief, it takes my time all are caught up in the web more programmed than we like the fear of mirrors and one's own mirror image comes with age Toad fright a ticking clock as a sledgehammer against concrete a profound feeling today's people love control Mr. Time is a wise and old man he makes his own tracks, in its own rhythm ~~~ 12.11.2020 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved - Writing Challenge - Quote Inspired - Sponsored by: Constance La France 3rd place ithe contest
