Time Is of Essence

Time is never the same again
But events are
Moments are never the same again 
But memories are
Love is not the same again
But relationships are

Situations change; so do conditions
Admirations change; so do opinions 
Necessities change; so do priorities 
Seasons change; so do years 

Mood is transient; so is mind 
Life is transient; so is love 
Status is transient; so is reputation 
Age is transient; so is outlook 

Anger doesn’t last; so too hatred
Enmity doesn’t last; so too ill will
Happiness doesn’t last; so too enjoyment 
Pleasure doesn’t last; so too peace

Thoughts don’t last; so too dreams
Solitude don’t last; so too boredom
Tastes don’t last; so too food
Pains don’t last; so too love

Knowledge stays till the very end;
as does wisdom
Life stays till the very end; 
as does the soul!

Time is of essence and time is a wonder
worker!
