RAHIM There I was sitting comfortably in my recliner With my eyelids almost drooping and ready to close When I got jolted out of my reverie By the daunting “tick-tock” of the clock that did stir Watched the seconds turn to minutes And the minutes no doubt turns to hours; and the hours to days The years too just slides away as only you know how You wonder how they all passed without in as much as an adieu Leaving behind memories of the yester year; in its’ journey One can only re-live the past that went by, so quickly Making one forlorn and submerged in past memories With the deeds of yore, be it good or bad; and the aftermath worry The good is always very easy to enjoy and savour But the bad make some feel guilty of deeds of misdemeanours Unfortunately one cannot go back in time to redeem & correct And is unable to rectify the wrongs done and must repent Let this be a lesson to all, on this important facet of life That ones’ deeds of the past would be difficult to atone; & is gone In most instances we live to regret, in remembrance So, do make an effort to seek just solutions before it is too late In life it is always never too late for action If you have the intentions that are pristine and human Forgiveness and goodwill should be ones’ prime concern Dedication and sense of duty should allay fears that may surmount Noor Rahim September 15, 2021.
