Tick! Tick! It clicks.
Though we hear its chime,
we do not always heed the silent advice
that time is running out
for us to paint our little pictures
on the canvas of life.
Let us paint as deftly as we can:
contours designed with vision and worthy aims,
filled with the hues of our talents and creativity,
embellished with the sweat of toiling hands,
and scintillating with the colors of virtues
expressed in virtuous deeds.
In the unfolding beauty of our creations
we too may find
fulfillment and bliss.
