With Passing Time Is Lost Forever He Who Walks Among Thorns

An African proverb states:
"A man does not walk among thorns, unless fleeing from a snake or pursuing one"

With passing time is lost forever The opportunities of the past days,
But new case with the morrow, And show in different ways. * * * * * *
He who walks among thorns, Does not do so for its own sake, No but rather he flees From a chasing snake... To make the most of what we have As a resolution may it be said, For we know not the day or the hour, When tomorrows we have none: we are dead! And if not so that the man walks A path of thorns his way in bare feet to make, Should he not be fleeing from: he must pursue To capture a fleeing snake.
