The Hands of Time
In life, there is no going back.
The hands of time are only moving forward.
Dare not be so clumsy and slack.
Plan your ways onward.
He who maps his steps before taking
will have guide to follow whenever he is lost,
for the world is so vast for the seeking,
where many are lost and wander like a ghost.
For only fools make the rush.
The wise are clever enough to realize
that those who make the hasty gush
may slip hard without a rise.
