Inexorably time moves forward, it never does stand still !
Our keeping up with it surely depends on God's will.
From the time we enter this world our days are measured-
that is why each second of our existence should be treasured.

It is well known that we are prone to waste a precious hour
unaware of worthwhile moments our existence we devour.
Steadily each calendar page makes way for the one to come
sometimes too fast and then again the pace may be numb.

This gadget was invented long ago, did improve with age,
until the time comes when it is no longer used page by page.
The computer now shows the date and changes it daily:
no need to tear off, waiting for the day of rest ever so gaily.

We know that the sands of time run down with steady grind,
if nothing upsets the routine our fate is considered very kind.
Should something change the succession of the daily numbers
a feeling of dread will surely interfere with our sound slumbers.
