Seconds, minutes, hour’s days and years. 
Particular by a clock, an area the world. 
Something usually happens, or is scheduled to.
Occurrences actions an event instance doing.
When happening the exact amount it takes is used.
Available or allowed, needed the right moment.
No time for jokes.
Quality experience, occasions during specific past.
Often books, with newspaper style events.
A stage a life when woman gives birth.
Spends a place an organization.
Active military required or stay in prison face hard time. 
Company, paying a worker back to front. 
Bigger smaller faster the need for speed we’re after.
A piece of music beats together.
Ahead good always be right, knew the truth.
Used to say, nick, stitch, test, be patient take quickly.
Tell the whole on many occasion, very often and frequently.
As when you're having fun, all wounds heal until become.
Cheaper all dropping, we wait disappointed, accept too long.
Express annoyance buying a candy bar, respect the past at last. 
Suspended matter until you’re sweet, formed act process.
Never crossed just lost in deep details of.
Consideration of feelings with situations, persons enjoying.
Western mainstream economic, two schools a penny systems on topic.
Less important passed on, collected a few to change.
Tiny drops of gas liquid moisture, a can of soup.
Precise exact, many developed, new meaning.
Literal and figurative the various shades of distorted context.
Do you get my meaning, you understand, what I'm telling?. 
A meaningful idea, a poem subtle, literary critics disagree.
True purpose, life devoid of reason or explanation.
Intrusion on experience, loneliness of fear. 
Very brave, I'll never stop trying. Very brave, I am determined. 
“Time is thought condensed into a meaning.”
