What Time Said When I Complained

Time scolded, “Don’t you know,
as your days come and go,
they will bring good AND bad?
You’re blessed. You should be glad.
Thank God for all you’ve had!”

TIME: the variable constant of life. Very nicely done Janice I often tell people that i have nothing to complain about, which is true (mostly) and yet I complain about the most bizarre stuff....

We only have to look around the world at those less fortunate than ourselves, and you realise you have nothing to complain about. Good luck Janice, hope you are keeping well. Tom
