Time, the delightful thief

Steals from all without relief.

Whether we be great or small

Time has no respect at all.

Where today windswept trees reach up to pray

A moment’s breath brings a new day.

And so the centuries come and go,

And immortality hopes and dreams

Are far too slow.

So time, the delightful thief will come again,

We won’t know where, and can’t see when.

Couldn’t agree more.I think the culprit is our mind,which goes on warning for good or bad I don’t know and influence s the outcome.Thanks for this Lovely quote.

Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is not.

HENRY VAN DYKE, “For Katrina’s Sun-Dial in Her Garden of Yaddo
