Time–More precious than silver.

Time–More precious than gold.

Time–Drags its heels when you’re young.

Time–Evaporates so fast when you’re old.

Time has no equal or opposing force.

It is indifferent and unrelenting,

Being neither kind nor unkind–

Yet it is always certain.

While it is the master of nothing,

All things are regulated by its dominion

To a predestined appointment.

Time is disposable–can only be used once,

And once used, is gone forever.

Regardless of wealth, no one can purchase one second.

Regardless of power, one cannot extend an hour,

Day, week, month or year by one minute.

Once life runs its course, it’s finished.

Time is no more. So remember:

Time–More precious than silver.

Time–More precious than gold.

Time–Runs the same for the young.

Time–Runs the same for the old.
