Analysis of Time Envy
Time can't be stopped
or placed on a pedestal
or put in a box.
However, with Time,
we can Improve and Grow,
we can Forgive and Pray,
we can Love and Play
to the Dance of our own
Tick-Tocks.
If Time could talk,
she would say -
Do not envy me or
sit and watch my Clock,
work with me and we
will make the most of
each and every day.
