Passage

PASSAGE

 

 Time can be a gentle thief; you barely feel his passage as he trails his fingers across

 your cheek to write the story of your journey and offer wisdom in his message.

No science can remove his stamp, nor can your travels be erased. He marches forward
 with resolve and writes the truth upon your face and steals away your youthful grace.
Don't leave your fate to happenstance but take it firmly in your hands and mould
it in an honorable way to brave the caprice of destiny and the test of time withstand.
 Fill your days with generosity and make your smile a gift; then time will be a steadfast
friend and make your hours of sadness swift and bring you peaceful resolution and in
all ways will uplift. Live each experience with joy and passion: make every moment count,
Don't spend them on contrition or regret; remember, there is little that love cannot surmount. And  though the universe is timeless and your place in it so small, he does not
forget you.  He awaits us all and steals away our days, quietly discreet,  then comes to write that
 final line upon the balance sheet.
