Where has the time gone?
I'm thirty years old
My hair is about to grey
My cheeks becomes hollow
I have lost all the weight
and still unemployed
Where has the time gone?
My fellow friends have settled down
with a job and married
they have kids
and I am still rocking for myself
with a tag of unemployed
Where has the time gone?
everyone is too busy
too busy to visit
The children they have
working, fishing and such
and I am still rocking myself
with giving competitive examinations
Where has the time gone?
I keep busy reading and studying my courses
keep active in preaching others.
praying for the sick
giving to the poor
and for me a subservient job
feeding the good for nothing
telling someone about
how to get the job and passing competitive examinations?
my time has gone to serve the family,
with all of my heart.
Mahfooz, I would say serving the family is a noble profession, especially when done with all of your heart. Good poem... well done! ! Brian

I would like to translate this poem
Your time has not been wasted, alwys remember, good things come to those who wait, and the best prize is saved until the end. Be patient, and you will find the journey was what was important, and that all these experiences have given you the edge, so you can be prepared for the final prize. Peace, Aisha
