TIME
TIME is Strange. It can take forever to pass
like a child waiting for Christmas or fly by
like a Mother seeing her son suddenly a man.
There are good TIMES and bad TIMES.
TIME on your hands and not enough TIME.
There is another TIME that we put off to.
There are things that take too much TIME.
We speak of past TIME and future TIME.
The TIME of our life. WE are given so much TIME in our lifeTIME.
We spend it foolishly or for good.
Watch how you manage your allotted TIME.
It may run out before you know it.
How are your spending your TIME?
Are you investing TIME or wasting TIME?
There is no TIME like the present TIME.
Use it well before there is no more TIME.
Take TIME to give TIME to those having a difficult TIME.
If you do you will be ready when your TIME comes.
