Dear Time,
Time…how you tick so slowly as we anticipate your passing so we can get to another goal. How you linger, snickering at our impatience.
Time…how you fly. How you soar, dip and spin wildly in the air.
Time…how you race at speeds unknown. How you chase shadows of yesterday and pass them by on your way to the unknown.
Time…how you steal away seconds, minutes and hours from our tightly grasped hands. How your crime of robbery goes unpunished.
Time…how you are like God with no beginning and no end. How we are at your mercy for there is no way to stop you.
Time…how we chase you; trying to get another moment from you. How we try to entertain you so that you will linger and visit with us so.
Time….how we call you Father Time, for ultimately we must obey you.
Sincerely and Impatiently Yours, A Mere Mortal
A New Life 
Beautifully written!

I got inspired when I looked at a picture of my daughter. Time is our friend and our enemy

Yes! Very true. My oldest just turned 11 and I don’t know when it happened, all I know is that it’s gone by too quickly.

So sad isn’t it? My biggest hope that I work towards is making sure my kids will want to come around once they leave home, and not flea and never to return.

Ugh! I know! It’s horrible, for one reason or another some adults will not come around mom or dad’s anymore. Some for personal family issues that get in the way of family. Thankfully, I still hold a strong bond with my parents, but having an honest loving relationship helps.

Ha! Looks like you and I had some parallel musings today. I love how you wound your words and let them flow as they did, like time itself; an accurate portrayal of our love/hate relationship with Time.

Hi Amy, “how your crime of robbery goes unpunished”.
One of my favorite lines.
Thank you for this. Need to center my soul on He who gave us time today.

Time is really a commodity. I really value it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and making me feel like there are still people out there who values time as much as I do
