Along Life’s Way
Father Time on
“Time”: A Fable
© 2018 Lois E. Wilson
Father Time always meets with the 10,080 minutes of the week to come.
He wants each of them to realize their importance in the lives of the
people of the universe. It is a speech he has given since the beginning
of time.
He walks proudly into the room and greets them, “Good day, everyone!
Your time will soon arrive. As you know, it will last only a moment. To
meet your obligation, it is important that you be on time.
“We have high standards. Time is consistent and reliable. We have never
missed or lost a minute.
“You are there for humans to spend as they see fit. Some will use you
wisely doing good, accomplishing tasks, solving problems, creating
things, and discovering ways to improve the lives of inhabitants.
“Others may fritter away the moments they have been given or use them
for evil. Some kill time by doing nothing. You have no power over how
you are used. You are just to be there at your assigned time.
“You will soon discover that some humans are very aware of time and are
prompt in all matters. Then there are those who use time to control;
they are often late making others wait for them. That makes them feel
powerful. You minutes are spent regardless. It is time that is in
control of that. Thank you for your attention. May your week pass by
smoothly!”
Moral: Each minute lasts only a moment and then becomes a memory. Spend
it well; make good memories.
