I go around and around

And have my own pace

I can’t go faster nor slower

Nor can I move backward

My movement is forward

You can’t hold nor stop me

I am with you throughout your life

I am a friend if you know my nature

But I can also be an enemy

If you take me for granted

When God created everything

He also created me

I am what I am

It is your choice how you use me

I am Time my friend

I am all yours free

You can’t buy me in stores

Neither can you preserve me

My question is,

How are you using me?

Productively or wastefully?

I am yours for your taking

But remember,

Whatever are the consequences

Of the choices of how you use me

Nobody will experience the result

Except you..

I was Time Yesterday

I am Time Today

And I will be Time Tomorrow

You can’t use me when I am already in the past

Neither can you use me if I am in the Future

I am always in the Present

Utilize me now or I am forever gone

For Tomorrow will be another day

I don’t change, my motion is forward

But you will change as I go

How you use me Today

Will greatly affect your Tomorrow

May I remind you therefore

That there are things in life

Which were done based on your choices

And the results are irreversible

So, be careful in choosing

What you say and do

And be conscious in everything you think

I am Time

I come and go

I am Time
