Sometimes things just get in the way
Too much to do and too much to say.
Sometimes busyness takes us over,
Hard to live, when jobs spillover.
Sometimes those we love get ignored
They take up time we cannot afford.
Sometimes time just runs away
And it’s gone before the end of the day.
And if you think I’m just being witty
Wasting your time with a rhyme or a ditty
Then consider the following if you can
What’s the purpose of every (wo)man
If we can’t laugh, love, lead a life that’s true
Cos we’re making excuses that our time flew,
Telling each other there’s no time for you.
Then who are we really and do we deserve
To even exist on this wonderful earth?
So take a moment, a minute, or even an hour
To balance your life and take back the power:
To make your life calmer, even serene:
To begin to remember who you’ve been
Before things took over and time became mean.
Then life will improve and you will feel new;
Take time to consider how time plays with you.

Thank you. The modern world does not leave us much time for ourselves if we are not careful.

Time wasted can never be retrieved. We must spend it wisely, so that we don’t have regrets when we look back.
