Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore - Dream.

The Villain Time
Copyright © L. Dwight Lewis 2010
The Villain Time was at your side
From the moment of birth
Extended you your credit line
Doubtless that your days
Would be long and fruitful on this earth
So, blindly in faith -- spreading youthful zeal
You undertook this restless journey
Toward an endless flight
For all your procrastinations - he's cosigned
Marking his passage in your facial lines
Living now - paying later - is your calling card
Bad risk - sayeth Premium card
To gain your aims and live your dreams
You've gambled long - playing the streaks
Oh, but now, it seems
That your luck has reached it's peak
Well, you're over-extended
Yes, you're overdrawn
Because living now - paying later
Is your calling card
Bad risk - sayeth Premium card
You've often wondered
When you doused the light and began to snore
If in the night - someone was watching
Silently keeping score
Living now - paying later
Is your calling card
Bad risk - sayeth Premium card
The checks you've signed
With hopes and dreams undone
They've been returned
The Villain Time - he's stamped them
insufficient funds
Well, the note is due - and credit's refused
Because The Villain Time
He's collecting the bottom line
Pay him in full
Yes, he's collecting the bottom line
Pay him in full
