THERE'S TIME

          There’s Time

 

I had been waiting yesterday

For a dream to come true

To see in the real life

Something out of the blue

I had strong faith

To see what I wait for

But, nothing was happening

And the day turned a bore.

 

How come, things went wrong

While I’m full of faith?

I was very eager

To fill the air with praise.

I sit and complained

Can’t his eyes see my faith?

“Where is my God today?”

I supposed to be helped

Because He has a way.

 

To find the answer

I sit and search the book

 

Solomon says to me

That is how my God work:

There is a time

For everything under the sun

A time for darkness

And time for sunshine.

 

If there’s appointed time

On earth for everything

Why should I rush myself

To grab some useless thing?

If I have some patience

And wait for few moments

 I can see miracles

That can change many lives.

 

Yesterday I was sad

But now I’m consoled

I know there is a time

For everything I need

My God will provide

What will be good for me

When I’m rejoicing

And cries my enemy.

 

A time for loneliness

Replaced by being couple

A time of sorrow

Crushed by sweet smile

A time of hopelessness

Destroyed by brighter hope

People come together

Bind up with a love rope.

 

Thinking God forsaken me

 I cried yesterday

He taught me a lesson

And wipes my tears away

It was foolish of me

Not knowing the time

Wasted my energy

And longed for which is not mine.
