An Unfair Thief- Contest
“Time is the thief you cannot banish."
Phyllis McGinley, Writer, 1905 - 1978
Live in the now because the internal clock
will continue until your time runs.
Time is an unfair thief. For coming without
warning at different stages in one's life.
Time can come early when one is oblivious
to the tic tock.
Or at noon when one is tuned in to the
second hand.
By the time one’s twilight hour nears, they
have lived an unfinished life. For paying to
much attention to the CLOCK that they forgot
to live in the moment.
One thing for sure is , Father Time has an
appointment with us.
Live in the now , because the internal clock
will continue until your time runs out.
