Time Flies
By Chip O'Brian
From time to time I bide my time so I'm often pressed for time until I'm almost out of time,
like today (writing on borrowed time).
Our lives are made up entirely of this stuff called time, yet any one of us would be hard
pressed to define exactly what that is. Yet even without being able to pin time down, we've
nevertheless learned a great deal about it.
Everyone knows time is money, yet if thats so what currency is used when you buy time? I
guess it would have to be a cash transaction since no one knows who the check would be
made out to anyway or how it might appear on a credit card statement.
When you're young time is on your side so it's easy to find time to make time or even kill
time because there's no time like the present, right? Some people grow to think of
themselves as legends in their own time or ahead of their time, but a few get humble in the
nick of time by the realization that we all put our pants on one leg at a time.
Everyone goes through some bad times in life just being in the wrong place at the right
time. Others waste time by spending time in a bottle or engaging in high times. The smart
ones quit these activities in the nick of time. Others keep making the same mistakes and
become three-time losers. In the end, if we're lucky time heals all.
Time marches on and time waits for no one. They even say time flies when you're having
fun (but those flights are rarely on time). Planet Earth must have plenty of room for all the
time we need because there's apparently a time and place for everything. (So why am I
always losing my keys?)
Time catches up to us as we age and we realize time grows short and time is suddenly of
the essence. Then we are ripe for making up for lost time. That might be intimate, quiet
time, play time or even party time. The point is we run out of time in nothing flat, and the
clock's ticking.
Since times a-wastin' and time is precious and you cant really give anyone the time of day
because it isn't yours to give, it's obviously time to make time for showing someone special
the time of their lives. It's later than you think and it is better late than never.
The best of times are spent with those we love. Quality time should never be squandered
or lost in the mists of time. If you never learn to take care of your friends and loved ones,
it might be better luck next time for you.
Once upon a time I thought we had all the time in the world, but I was wrong.
There's not a second to lose.
