"I have, in a somewhat egotistical way, described this as my version of an eternal truth!" - Allen Ansell




Time goes on forever.
When we are young, we can keep up with it.
When we are middle-aged, it slips ahead with subtlety.
When we are getting old, we slow down, time speeds up.
But …
Time goes on for ever.

Each moment is precious.
When we are young, we do not understand their value.
When we are middle-aged, we mistake their importance.
When we are getting old, each one is grabbed as if to keep.
For …
Each moment is precious.

There are not enough hours.
When we are young, the time ahead is never ending.
When we are middle-aged, we close our eyes and look the other way.
When we are getting old, we cannot evade the truth…
That …
There are not enough hours.
