• Time

    For too long is it that one must haste,
    Without reason as he doth,
    Though greater gain is given he,
    Yet mourns the time hath not enjoyed.

    Savored time is greater yet,
    Than time well wasted in the rush,
    Days of youth last not forever,
    Take for granted naught your time.

    For though you are now young and strong,
    You know not when your day will come,
    So live and love life as it is,
    And regret not your actions past.

    And as you know, the saying goes,
    "Live life to the fullest now,
    For every day could be your last,
    And you know not when it could end."

    Tragedy befalls those who are blinded,
    By their own defiant self-conceptions,
    Thinking themselves immortal beings,
    They fall captive to death's evil grasp.

    Think not that you will live forever,
    Wish not for the end to come nearer,
    Make every day a day anew,
    And find yourself an optimist.

    Happier are those who give such effort,
    To see the glass half full, not empty,
    And see the future with bright eyes,
    For time is a gift, burden naught.
