Time

I once met an old man,
who said:
“ Time is never a friend,
           my friend.
It conspires against us;
allows us to believe
it has a generous nature
then proceeds
to rob us of life.”

I’ve thought about those words
every day since that encounter
and what can I say?
He has a point!
Who can deny it?

No point in denying the truth of lost time.
We all lose it in the end.
It's what we do with what we have
that matters.
But then, you already knew that.
Have a good night WW, and may you awaken tomorrow wrapped a 'mauve moment.'

Isn't it funny how people spend their whole lives worrying about so many silly things
while time just stands by and smiles, knowing he is going to put an end to our worries once and for all.

If you have reached a reasonable age WW
and done most of the things that you wanted to do throughout your life, then death is nothing to be afraid of. We all know it's coming one day so make the most of the time that you have left, and don't worry.

I have definitely noticed that this year~~
