The Matter of Time and Money
Money is scarce
It plays hide and seek
One day you have it
Then it's gone for a week

You try stuffing it in
A pocket or two
But it never lasts long
Disappearing from view

You can hold on real tight
But it just doesn't matter
Your wallet grows thin
Seems it never gets fatter

Time is the essence
That we live in today
Filled in with work
Though we hope there's some play

You schedule things in
Try to fill every minute
But it passes by quick
Better savour what's in it

For too soon it flies by
Days, weeks, then years
So take time to enjoy it
Don't fill it with tears
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
