Savour the Moments

“ Time is the thief you cannot banish”    Phyllis Mcginley, Writer 1905 - 1978 a major character in the drama of life!  slowly making its entry, when unawares, leaving the stage at a faster pace,  doesn't give much opportunity to applaud...  stop, please stop ..be kind .. we require your presence - so many dreams unfulfilled,  slow down, please ...be gentle, so many goals to accomplish. spent youth being wild and merry, drinking from the brimming cup of joy,  childhood and adolescence - endless pleasures and happiness,  the best and jubilant days don't return.  time spies on us ~ the clock ticks.  when we have slightest idea how every moment is passing by ~ engrossed with bits and pieces, fragments of life,  get stunned by sudden realization, barely knowing,how every minute, every hour is meandering away... noiseless, without an utterance ~ lose our grip, every second trickles down like grains of sand  through our fingers, nowhere to be found.  savour the moments - every moment is a blessing, enjoy life understanding the fragility fully well,  time is a thief who knows when to act, without making much of a fuss.  we want to exile him, but life has little meaning without this offender, who is swift and all-encompassing.
