Needed To Use Wisely

NEEDED TO USE WISELY Morning dew splatters upon my head I stand on a point thinking of what to do for tomorrow yesterday slipped through my fingers as autumn slipped through summer today is about to pass me by as 29th is about to pass through 30th yet my tomorrow is unknown why not wait for me time? My age increase everyday While I still on a point thinking of what to do Winter passes me by made to shiver, Evoke the image of a friend I saw yesterday in an exotic car Tears roll like stream from my eyes to mouth, I taste the sweetness of laziness Whom should I blame except me…………………. Time is precious, needed to use wisely

Ask and it shall be given, Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be opened and you will not be left behind. For He is Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end. Our Lord, Our Savior, Our Father and Friend... THIS DAY. Be Blessed.

You have creatively expressed the passing of time in this wonderful poem, Afolabi. I feel the slipping away of time with each passing day, as well. Really enjoyed this!
