Time is Currency

Time's money, this's how it's seen by monetary agency Wiser men have modified it saying ‘Time’s currency’ An invaluable wealth, time you should never squander No bank can help you once for money you wander “Time and tide wait for no man”, affirms the wise Be keen to do everything in allotted time n’ space Like waves, which wait for none, time will advance By staying idle, we may never get one more chance Each one is granted a fixed quantum of time And each second passes with a silent chime Those who handle time without enough caution May later regret and can land in utter perdition As the pendulum of time swings Each day, to infinity, steadily wings Time is like a diminishing bank account Nothing can be added to the existing amount Time wasted should be our greatest regret It is precious and irredeemable, never forget Before infirmities set in, earn what you can For life on Earth has only a short span

Dear Valsa, a powerful show of the one resource we can’t manufacture. The image of the 'silent chime' for every passing second is hauntingly beautiful. It really underscores the weight of that 'diminishing bank account' we all carry. A very timely wise piece. Blessings, Daniel

"Time is money, " I have heard. It can be. It can also be hope, those awaiting a miracle. The young will constantly challenge time -- when Time always wins. Surprised I have gotten to the age I am -- will not question Time. Who knows? Maybe reasons I don't understand. Time is love also...which is timeless. Never changes. People do.
