FATHER TIME !

by Cletus Hardiman - Sagittarius

Yesterday is gone forever,
today is all we've got.
Tomorrow may never get to us,
So, our time right now means a lot !

Sand in the hourglass slowly trickles
like people every day leave this earth.
We may be the next grain to fall,
We control it no more than our birth !

Time is the essence of living.....
Time is all the wealth we own.
So, how can we say that a man is rich?
When tomorrow he may be gone !

Reason for writing:

    I was just thinking how we sometimes take our life for granted........we do not know if we will be alive 5 minutes from now......(and now I guess I have become the Edgar Allen Poe of this time).....(for thinking "morbid") HA!
