Time Poem by Wensislaus Mbirimi

Once upon a time
As the sun used to shine
A young man looked fine
Dreaming of present and future time
When his life should shine
Never thought he would pine
Or miss honey and wine

But time is a great teacher
It taught him like a great preacher
That in life problems always feature
No more dreams bout being richer
Now always reaches for the pitcher
Guzzles the beer and goes for the stretcher
Hoping trouble, sleep will quencher

Behind every dark cloud is a silver lining
Behind every shadow light is still shining
Young man realises and stops wining and pining
Plan to conquer the world he now is signing
Hopes now he got right the timing
