The Ticking of the Clock

We are each of us governed by time.  Time is unstoppable but we can waste it, run out of it, try to make the most of it, and measure our lives by it.  To our eyes, time rolls by so very slowly, and yet, in reality, it passes swiftly.  Each minute that goes by is another that will never be repeated, seen or used again.  Once it is over, that's it, gone for good.  Each second is invaluable and happens only once in a lifetime.  And yet we go through our lives as if we have all the time in the world.  But we don't.  All the time we have is that which has already been set aside for us.  We have no idea how much we are actually given, but one this is certain: each of our clocks will one day stop, our sand will eventually run out.  Time never ends, but our Time does.  So instead of wasting it, we should be using every second to its fullest potential.  Each hour is a blessing; we never know when it will be our last.  Time is precious and here I let it pass by so carelessly.  I have been given a set number of days and I plan to make every moment count.  What will you do with yours?
