Nextime?
Never trust the 'nextime'
For it may be too late
and the 'nextime' may never come.
If a word or two
In sorrowful request
Pays a visit to you
Never say 'nextime please'
For it may be too late.
That moment is this moment
not 'nextime'.
The soul comes to you
For a reason or two
Open the door of your heart
No matter if you lose a million in business
Because that million brings not the 'nextime'.
But, a paltry sum from that amount
in transaction can buy a wreath
a coffin or to pay the grave diggers
and place an obituary
and to say many good things.
Why?
Because that 'nextime'
Can mean anything, death too.
