This was extracted from an e-mail sent to me by Kuya Ryan who’s currently staying in Melbourne. The moment I opened it and read all the stanzas, it further testified that we cannot throw Time away because it waits for no one. When it’s gone, it’ll vanish and can’t be found anymore. It also gave way to my thoughts that we ought to treasure everyone who appears in our lives because losing friends or relatives is painful especially when we don’t treasure and appreciate them in the beginning. Regrets; there is no way to turn it back to its original form if everything was taken for granted from the start.
What’s your say?
