Give Life Some Time

In the course of
Life's busy pace,
There comes
A day of reckoning,
When life,
in collusion with time,
Pulls back our reins
compelling us to stop
and take stock of our situation.

Sometimes life yanks us back
from the threshold of success,
Sometimes a few steps away
from the edge of the precipice.

But something good always
comes out of every situation.

It behooves us
to be patient
And trust the process
to find out what that is.
