WORDS FOR THE WISE

No man is an island
But all fingers ain't equal 
Desperation cuts a man's life short
Determination opens doors 
If you want to be great 
You better start to create 
God will never bestow on you 
What you can't control or behold.

A baby born today 
Can't chew or walk the same day
Fast is cool, if you can get through it
Slow takes time, but the journey is worthwhile
The clock ticks second and minute then hour
Season comes after another 
One generation before another
Time always makes the difference.

You see why we have calendar 
Because there's always time
So why settle for dime
Or move faster than time
I would like to say more
But when words are too much 
It becomes void, many will avoid the message for the pleasure.
