As the bride , "I'm late" 
I have never loved this man
Stop Ceremony!
How will I let him know this? 
When the clock's not on my side?...

The Bible has so many pages
Each reviewed and approved by sages
And when they were through
No one had a clue
As they took to the Middle Ages!...

So an end is near

Not the one we all so fear

But a long slow slide
                  
With ever rising high tide

So time is of the essence...

Do not hesitate 
To weave your life's tapestry.
The blink of God's eye 
Is less time than your thread long. 
Use genuine hues stitched strong....

Happy birthday, Abelardo, 
Men say time is of the essence; 
Years, months, days, and hours come and go, 
These words are going to make sense.

With each breath I take
I blow away seeds of time
Dandelion clocks
Natural chronometers
Time ticks by until we die

Time
conveys,
one must have
sound wisdom and
be adequately
prepared to handle life
efficiently, forge ahead
and pursue a worthwhile purpose,
then it remains on one's comfort side,
or else only revision soothes the soul....

If time would let me change the past,
I’d live a perfect life.
No matter how I messed it up.
I’d tidy up the strife.

But sequence has a purpose,
so I’m told by father time.
To have something from here on out,
all change must form a line....

Postponed, are trials of today
for time tempts us to rather snore.
Stagnant, are the bucket lists,
'til death knocks on heaven's door.

Oh, wonderful life

minutes-hours-days-nights-weeks-months 

years, seasons, decades

the world is turning so fast

I can’t keep on top of it

Time is of the essence





To lifetime essence,
Memories freeze in aeon,
Stay live in epoch
Interim generations,
Can needles of clock rewind ?

Time’s Toll


Bargaining with fate
a “now” bartered for a “then”
plans made – debts incurred
a future becomes a past 
sliding through tight clenched fingers.

Time Is Of The Essence


Time passes quickly
Its measures are absolute
Keep pace with the race
You must act now or never
To achieve your finish line.

I fear many things.
I fear I stay complacent in my own misery.
Time is of the essence,
yet action for change is unattainable 

And I speak of change possible for myself,
which is perhaps the most upsetting point to note,
for my limits are set on a glass roof 
I fear I will shatter with my feet on the ground.

I fear my own fear....

Time is of the essence,
where has it gone,
all my dreams,
all my life,
Time seems to have gone
on.
An I have been left
behind.
When will I catch up,
When will I be on time,
Will it ever be my 
turn.
Will it ever be my time,
As time goes on we grow
and everything changes,
One day i maybe able 
to freeze time.
An I'll catch up,
Then it will be my turn,
My Time....

If nothing last forever,

Then nothing really matters.

If time is of the essence,
was it produced for learning lessons?

So when I feel the pressure

I can't let it out measure

The power that inside

They can't damaged this pride!!

Its my shining light

You can see it in the eyes

So don't act surprise  

when you finally realized.

Nothing lasts forever....

The past the present and future
In that split of a instant
No time to plan ahead or consider
Time is of the essence

Thought we had it all figured out
Thinking a little more
Decided not quite so fast I'm afraid
Stranger than ever before

We had difficulty understanding
This fact or abnormality
But we're still alive and breathing
Thanks for the cordiality

TEN SECONDS

Time is of the essence,
Every tick of the clock measures your accomplishments.
It's not clear what you will yet become,
Your destine for greatness.
With hopes and admirations looming,
A cloud of misfortune and disbelief appear.
Over the horizon,
As the clock loudly strikes twelve,
Dreams and visions of greatness,
Peak through the darkness.
Time fades behind the clouds,
TEN SECONDS

Time is of the Essence
Unlock the Dreams


time brings the unknown

pendulum swings keeping time

star twinkles goodbye

sun still shines the heart still beats

walk forward and claim your dreams

Don’t look back and grieve over the past. Time is of the essence.  Tomorrow is not promised

Now is the moment
To read, to speak and to act
Now is the moment
For trust to install
To call and to take that call

It's no secret that
Every second is the first
It's no secret that
Every moment the clock turns
The Lost time never returns

To live in present
Necessarily makes sense
To live in present
Is lifestyle decent
For the time is of essence

When I believe I have my heart set,
Or jump in too fast I fool myself instead,
Time is of the essence but I must breathe it in slowly,
Because if I don't I sometimes can't see what I'm doing,
There have been people in my life who have come and gone,
Yet I have valued each one even when it seemed wrong,
They were my lessons, they taught me in life,
They were my glimpses between wrong and right,
They were part an asset for me to see,
For the future they helped to mold how I choose to be....
