Time: Spend it well.

Time
by Violet King

You wake up each morning
and you have in your purse 24 hours of Life.
It is yours!

No one can take it from you,
You cannot get into debt,
You cannot draw on the future,
You can only spend the passing moment,
You cannot waste tomorrow -
It is kept for you.

We shall never have any more time.
We have, and we have always had,
all the time there is at any given moment.

Spend it well.

Whether rich or poor, there is one thing we all have in equal measure. And it may be the only thing in our lives of any real value.
