I wasn't really aware of the passage of time. Along that line, may I say, let me see if I can quote a little verse by someone else: The clock of life is wound but once, And no man has the power to know just when the hand will strike, at late or early hour. Now is all the time we have, so live, love, and work with a will. Take no thought of tomorrow, for the clock may then be still.
