Nextime

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.

  1. Well said my fren. Never say 'next time', it maybe too late.
    Be good to one another. Help as much as we could.
    Things happen for reasons.

    It's a wonderful poem. A reminder to everyone.
