Your Time's Comin' Poem by Shel Silverstein

Your Time's Comin'

Rating: 3.0


I knew that she belonged to someone else at the time,
But lonesome-lookin' women are a weakness of mine;
And so I bought that stuff about the love he never gave her,
And I figured I would love her some, and do us both a favor.
But just when I got up to leave, he walked in the door
And I guess I thought he'd be surprised.
He looked at me as if to say, 'I've been here before'
And he offered me this word to the wise:

cho; You know she's a cheater, son
And you think that you're the one
That's got a lot of what it takes to change her;
I've no doubt that you can get her
You ain't much, but that don't matter
Nothin' suits her better than a stranger.

(by Kristofferson, Silverstein)

Why? Because My Time Shall Come. And naked you all have come, So what do you think you will take along? My Time Shall Come My Time Shall Come My Time Shall Come (Bollywood Song- Apna Time Ayega //Gully Boy//)
