Poem
Watermarks of the time and tide! (Third and last part to abide by the word count) ----- With aches and pains felt everywhere in the body called arthralgia and myalgia! We start thinking if only we could go back to our good times in a fit of nostalgia! The best would be to become a baby pampered by parents just as we began! So that we can take a fresh start and do better to improve all our life if we can! But if that wouldn't be granted, I am also fine with becoming a worry free child! Having to go to school to learn all that's so new and coming home to play wild! May be I am asking too much so I will be fairly happy to return to golden teens! Because life is the most beautiful and carefree between thirteens and nineteens! I know it would be hard for nature to give me so much good time of my life again! I don't mind becoming a responsible adult if that poised mind and power I regain! I guess I might be asking too much from time to give back the best days of mine! Okay then return me to my middle age in good health and I would surely feel fine! I can see the calendar and the clock are jeering at me for asking my lost time back! They are telling me quietly that time passes as it does, you can't even make it slack! So let me not make them laugh by fondly looking out from the rear window's pane! And be content with trying to make the best of the my older years that still remain! I keep hearing some day it would be possible for us to travel back or forth in time! That wouldn't happen no matter how much I desire it to be possible in my lifetime! Let me then forget my past and do my best for now while planning well for future! I can't go back in the time tunnel but I have learnt lessons with time as a teacher! Seeing in the mirror I see the watermarks etched on me by the irreversible time and tide! A divine voice consoles what matters isn't how I look outside but beauty of my soul inside! "It doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside, it’s what on the inside that counts!" One can feel young again at any age, if the pleasant memories of the past one recounts! ----- Poetry by Dr. Asghar Nazeer (LinkedIn profile http://sa.linkedin.com/in/drasgharnazeerlinkedinprofile) Kindly read this poem with a matching photo on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/article/20140802210841-167523528-seeing-in-the- mirror-i-see-the-watermarks-etched-on-me-by-the-irreversible-time-and-tide and my 28 poems with captivating pics at my LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/today/author/167523528?_mSplash=1
