The Clock on the Wall

Time is the most precious element of human existence. Time should never be wasted but filled with love and persistence. Time is not remorseful but can be resourceful and joyful. It is a known fact that time never goes back. Time is useful, not something worthless we can put on the shelf or rack. Time has many stories about failure and glory. Time lives in the now. We must find a way to create a positive system to take advantage of time somehow. Time waits for no woman or man to make their stand in order to be the best she or he can. Time is always in demand. Time is precious, more valuable than gold; time can give a smart man riches untold.

Time sends a message: “It’s now or never.” To be successful, we must be smart and clever. Let time be our eternal friend. Success, with time, will take us to places we have never been. We should treat time like family, next of kin. Time is based on space. Time is not in a footrace.

Time is the alpha-omega. Time has no beginning or end. Time is infinite, unstoppable; in time, everything is possible; time can bring sadness or pleasure, death traps or treasure. As sure as fire is hot, as long as there is dirt, dust, stones, and rocks, time will never stop. Time will never die, decay, or rot. Time marches on into the dawn, singing its fight song called “tick-tock.” In every unpaved country road, street, avenues, or city blocks, or in the country, time tells farmers when it’s time to harvest his crop, tells businessmen when to open their office or shops.

Time determines on New Year’s Eve in Time Square (New York) when the ball drops. Time’s motto is “In and on with the new and out with the past.” Faith is the only thing in time that will last. Time can go by like a hundred-yard dash. Managing time is our mission and task; if not, life will not develop but crash. Do the math; if you don’t properly use time, you will come in last. Time has no color, shape, but is full of pizzazz. Time sometimes is showcased in an hourglass shaped like a woman’s body. Time is never conceited or snotty. Time is not just about good times and parties; but preparation, dedication, appreciation for time and what time can do for the few who respect time progress or decline.

Every day is a new day in time as sure as the sun sets and rises. Life is all about what we choose to do with time. Life is short, we have little time to seek and sought. Our dream time should not be wasted in court, because we misbehave and acte out on evil and criminal thoughts. Time is a jewel, a tool not recognized by fools. Time tells us when to rest, slumber, or sleep, when to compete, when to stand up and get on our feet. Time can be sour or sweet, a downfall or unique. Time reveals the strong or the weak.

The clock on the wall is an indicator of time that tells us when the sun shines or when the moon and stars are bright. When the temperature is cool, warm, cozy (day or night), the clock on the wall predicts the four seasons—winter, spring, summer or fall. Time dictates when bears hibernate or when the birds come out to sing and are on call. The clock on the wall can move fast or slow, tell us when to stand still, come, or go.

Time also lets us know how much more time do some individuals have left on death row. Time tells us when the morning tide is high or low, when our bank’s interest rates are expected to grow. When do we reap what we sow? The clock or watch is one of mankind’s essential inventions, with good intentions, with Godly intervention that gives positive direction and wards off transgressions.

Father Time teaches us life’s lessons; the clock on the wall can be a blessing. The clock on the wall is always in its prime; a gift from Holy Divine tells us to remain still in the background or when to swag and shine. Everything has a time, season or reason; a time to live or die; a time to run around; a time to fly; a time to say hello or goodbye. The clock on the wall determines when the rooster crows, when Mother Nature is all aglow, a time to mature and grow with wisdom and knowledge, when it’s time to lead and shine, when it’s time to leave ignorant, childish thoughts and bad behavior far behind.

All things in time should develop, mature, advance, progress, and positively evolve or die of thirst and starve. The clock on the wall, no matter short, tall, big, or small, affects us all, determines will we walk or crawl? Time should be caressed like an eagle protects its nest. Time should be savored, kept abreast; we must do our very best to invest in time. If time is properly handled, time can bring joy, good times, happiness, peace with understanding with a soft landing.

Time can clean up any mess if the problem is positively accessed. Time should be a winning process. No intelligent, smart-thinking person should settle for less. The clock on the wall is ticking right now. Time cannot be held hostage or corralled. Let us put our talents, gifts, and blessings on showcase with finesse and style. Do what we need to do in order to progress with positive success. Let us strive to be the best. With hard work, determination, will power, intellectual know-how, laziness, procrastination will not be allowed. Let us be on the prowl, go that extra mile so the clock on the wall will not treat us mean or foul but look at us and smile. We are winners, conquerors, thoroughbreds, and not a weak sheep or cow.

Let’s play winning ball with the clock on the wall. Time will never stop or fall, never crawl. Time never takes a day off. Time is always on duty and call. Time should be a good thing; no matter if we speak English, French, or Spanish, time is a necessity. Time is essential to our life and needs, like the food that we eat, the air that we breathe, and when babies start to teethe or when to expect the winter freeze. Time is what we want most but what we use worst. Our individual lifetime begins the moment of our birth and ends when we are driven to our resting place in a hearse. Quality time is a quality we should always put first; and gladly given out, dispersed into the heavens, earth, and universe.
