Poetry |Time Is Out| by Stephen D. D. Samuel

February 28, 2017 TWF Editor 0 Comments

Oh welcome to our midst.
A cry of a new born baby,
Welcomed by old hand,
Out of pain to a joyful day.
Growing to know more of the hazardous world,
Knowing good and bad,
Some are taught and others, not.

The new human becoming who we look unto,
Out of a poor house willing to be rich,
The rich may torment.
Self interest is a virus that can kill,
But other's interest brings cure.
Finishing school, searching for job,
Now the job is mine.
Getting married, and bearing children,
Now, i'm a man on my own.
Growing older is a must,
At the age of 60,
One must be ready
For the time may come
By Grace, I was spared,
70, 80, 90, 100, the time has not come.
When will I go back?
At last, I spend half of 40 years more
And go to a lovely home of peace and joy.
The time has come.
