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
Quote by Geoffrey Chaucer : “Time and Tide wait for no man”
Long dead poet coined the phrase
"Time and Tide wait for no Man"
So live life vibrantly throughout all days
Embrace the moment eagerly do not plan.
Meet all challenges we will surely face
It is life's way of testing strength and mettle
Sometimes it feels like a mightly race
Yet, nothing that happens is accidental.
Are we on a path pre-ordained?
Philosophers cannot agree
To Seize the Day we must not be chained
How wonderful to be perfectly free.
“Time and tide wait for no man”, affirm the wise.
Everything should be done in the 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.
Without notice, seconds pass with a silent chime.
Those who handle time without enough caution,
May later come to regret and land in perdition.
As the moving 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 here has only a short stretch and span!

This oasis that resides deep inside me
Which reflects in my eyes
In this drama of the sky I see myself at times
The sun plays with the clouds which knows
nothing better covered in shroud
The moon tugs at the tides which recede
Like my heart deep in my core
I take a pause and open thoughts door
Drenched in my own battle I look at strife
As I align this delicate balance with a plan
I call a truce as I look with eyes open not blind
As time and tide wait for no man or mind
I seek happiness and just try to be kind

True love never dies
Loyal souls never change
Don’t distort the beauty of fairytales
Don’t blame it on life
Don’t blame it on you
Don’t fake your heart
‘Cause I won't do
Thought you were my angel
So I gave you my wings
Now you're ready to fly?
I whined hey wait
But you're hailing goodbye
I offered you a platonic love
A virgin, a pure an innocent love
I said babe sex got nothing on me
Clog your ears believe what you see
They only gossip about me
They can't be you and they won't own me
But you were disgusted with the taste of my kiss
That’s why I hated the scent of my lips
You know… I spent my youth buying time for you
Guess I’ll spend my sunsets waiting here for you
Even though I’m wide aware
That time and tide wait for no man
But I’m prepared to make an exception
‘Cause our romance was perfection
And I’ll rebirth its dead sensation
One must enjoy the present moment
That alone is shrewd time-management
When the present is well-utilized
By the fine results all are surprised
When every second is usefully spent
No occasion will come to repent
When precious time is by us wasted
Surely success cannot be tasted
When we are punctual in our affairs
For us, success, time kindly spares
When we spend time without care
We cannot blame time as unfair
Laziness is time's first enemy
As former makes life gloomy
Time and tide wait for no man
So implement soon the plan
In case you wait for somebody
Remember that he must be ready
If time is not properly employed
Life cannot be definitely enjoyed.

Time and tide wait for no man
If a thing must be done, then do it
Nature waits for no one
It will not suffer human wit
Nor patiently stall till fears do quit
Nor wring it's hands, till man takes a stand
Nothing in Nature needs man
It is man who is only a cog
As he marches through creation in a fog
History is ripe with God's other creatures
Some who are gone were even main features
But now they are only a lonely asterisk
In the big book of Nature
Before that apple falls from the tree, then pluck it
If you hesitate your prize is sour
You must act and jump at the perfect hour
Or else your moment falls to Earth
Gone and dried of little worth
Who is it that can see, so perfectly
Only the God's who guide us through life's ocean
As we seek to untangle human emotion
