Time
TIME
Have an attitude of gratitude,
Be thankful for the time you spend,
For time you cannot lend nor send,
For once it’s gone it will never look back at you,
Time is what we all have in common,
So tell me why isn’t success common,
Why are there rich people?
Poor people
And the comfortable middle class,
Why do some go too soon?
And others stay too long,
Why does time fly?
And at the same time promise to heal all wounds,
Why is it that the more time we kill?
The more time kills us.
Yesterday is gone,
Tomorrow has not yet come,
We have only today,
Let us begin,
Things done later,
Are not necessarily greater,
I often wonder to myself,
What is this later people often speak of,
It’s seems that their time banks are filled with bundles of later,
For me there is no later,
All that there is is NOW,
Stop wasting your time,
You only have so much ,
A packet of milk get’s stamped an expiry date before it leaves the plant,
We are the same,
As soon as we are conceived we get an expiry date stamped onto us,
Just as the milk is unaware of it’s last day,
So are we,
Please listen to my plea,
For I am short of glee,
Open your eyes and see,
People die every minute,
What are the chances that you’re not next?
Be selfish with your time,
Give it if what you get back is valuable,
Thank you for taking your time to read this,
Now go and tell all about time.
