Time a Thief


"Time is the thief you cannot banish"
 Phyllis McGinley, Writer,  1905 - 1978


If
we use
each second
judiciously 
just think what all we can do in a day!
If we are happy every moment, much
happiness we 
can gather 
in a 
day!
~~~~~
No 
one can 
steal even 
a second from
our life if we don't allow. Tomorrow
is uncertain, death again uncertain.
It is wise to
make the best
use of
time.

I like the lines right at the end that say, "It is wise to make the best use of time." Congrats on your winner. Sara...Question is how do we know what is the best use of our time???

Best use of time for me is 1. Not to sit idle 2. Try to be happy every moment by enjoying work in hand.2. spend free time in task that makes me happy. If mind becomes sad, I change it as soon as possible to positive. Thus even if I die this moment I will have no regret for I lived well. Thanks for asking and congratulations to you too. Take care, Rama

Got that one correct. Amazing how some people can get so much done in a day and others can build relationships with their time. It is just according how we use what we have been given. Thanks for the visit to my page. This work reads like a good contender to me. Sara
