Know the value of time…			
Whiling it away is a grave crime!			
When you are in your prime,			
Every peak you try to climb!			
Using seconds as granules of lime	
Make your life so sublime! 
Run not madly after the dime;		
Spoil not life’s rhythm and rhyme!		
Time has a past, present and future;
Amend your past cuts with a fine suture!
Time is the best judge;	
On you it has no grudge!
It always persuades you to budge;	
Sure, it cleans every sludge!
