I treat everyone equally.
I am always there for you, even if you believe I'm not.
How you think about me affects how you feel about what you do.
I am never not available.
There is not a day that goes by where you don't relate with me.
You suggest that I come in either quality or quantity and ultimately both.
You grow impatient when you think people take too much of me.
You comfort others by telling them I heal all wounds as I go by.
When you look back on me, you refer to me as either good or bad.
The more you have to do the more you wish I was there.
Some of you say I fly while others say I stand still.
Entire songs have been written about me.
Everybody wishes they had more of me.
It seems the older you get the faster I go.
Most of you agree you can't make more of me.
You suggest that I am used wisely.
Volumes of books have been written about me.
You think you can manage me and you can't as nobody can.
If you misplace your efforts in relation to me I am lost forever.
You think you can spend me and you can't.
As you travel you may experience my zones.
You think you can waste me and you can't.
A whole industry has evolved around working with me more effectively.
You think you can invest me and you can't.
You think by measuring me you are in control of me...
think again.
You think you can take me and you can't.
I make it possible for you to meet or miss deadlines.
You think you can carve me out or set me aside.
The older you become the more you look forward to having me in your life.
You may delay, but I will not.
The only way you can really experience me is if you are present with me.
I exist so everything doesn't happen all at once.
I am the TIME of your life.
