A Life Spent Wisely Poem by abu tarek md tahsin

On a dewy evening
As I walked tired and late
Came an ailing lady
In front of my face

And as I looked
Into her shivering eyes
My worries fled
And my heart opened wide

The old coat I had on
Bought previous summer on sale
Went swiftly around her chest

She was thankful
As I gave
A little of
All that I had

And swiftly did I cross
The roads to where
My meagre home belongs

I realized
Right and then

Life which is spent
And shared well
With those in need of help

Is a life spent wisely
And truely well.
