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

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.
Topic: Birthday of Abelardo Clavo, Jr. (March 12)
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!
It will Happen Soon!
You will realize the lies,
no place you can hide!
Some of you will be surprised!
Fight for Freedom, and your Rights!

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

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 look at the clock and shake my head.
We might be late-not looking good.
My friend is possibly still in bed.
This thing I've never understood!
How can you make a definite plan
and then just let it drift away?
Of tardiness I'm not a fan.
I'm thinking of choice words to say.
This annoys me so very much.
No excuse is good enough.
They'll have a tale to tell and such.
But in my mind 'tis just too tough!
I am a person always on time.
In fact at times I'm a little early.
Being so late has no reason or rhyme.
This pet peeve tends to make me surly.
There are people that I love dearly
who are always keeping me waiting.
All these years they never did fear me.
And I just can't end up hating.
I'm the only one who feels any pain.
I gawk at my watch when their time is up.
Now I realize I've got nothing to gain.
So I tell myself suck it up buttercup!
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.
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.
