POEM: Around the corner

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone,
And I never see my old friend's face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell,
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men,
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name,
'Tomorrow' I say, "I will call on Jim",
Just to show that I'm thinking of him,
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
Around the corner, yet miles away,
Here is a telegram sir, "JIM DIED TODAY",
And that's what we get and deserve,
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Seize the day, Never have regrets,
Express it NOW.

VALUE OF TIME

To realize the value of ten years, ask a newly divorced couple.

To realize the value of four years, ask an engineering graduate.

To realize the value of one year, ask a student who has failed in exam.

To realize the value of nine months, ask a mother who gave birth to a still born.

To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a prematured baby.

To realize the value of one week, ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize the value of one day, ask the person who was born on february 29th.

To realize the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realize the value of one minute, ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize the value of one second, ask a person who has surved an accident.

To realize the value of one milli-second, ask the person who has won a silver medal in olympics.


Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have.

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift, that is why it is called 'present'.

Clock is running, make the most of NOW.
