I am time and you created my emotions.

You use me throughout your life

I come and go

And never stay

You decide my quality in your life,

by the kind of emotions you create in me

 

I too, have emotions just like you.

I have feelings such as anger,

depression, insecurity, sadness and fear

And/or love, power, accomplishment

compassion, joy and peace.

 

During the war

people remembered me

as a time of anger,

restlessness, losses,

insecurities and fear.

A time of turmoil and defenses.

 

When you fall in love

you describe me

as a time of joy and happiness

a  time of sharing and dreaming,

I am filled with hope and aspirations,

and find wholeness in charity and pleasure in receiving.

 

But one thing you should know,

only you can create my emotions.

I can be a time of joy and happiness

because you did something

you can be joyful for,

based on your choices of how you used me.

 

I can also be a time of dreams and aspirations

when you put meaning and purpose in your life.

This motivates and encourages you

to make the best choices

before taking any action which yields

either rewards or consequences.

 

Do I really have feelings? Hmmm, I think I do.

But only you can create my feelings,

because only you can use me and be able to say

“My lifetime is happy or sad, successful or failure,

healthy or sick" and on and on and on

based on the power of choices you have made.
