The Clock Ticks

When your time is due
Others' lives won't stop for you
Each life has his own clock
But this is your last tick tock
No one knows your pain
Knocked about without restrain
It's time to say goodbye
the tears swelling in your eye
You had a chance to do good
Not always as you should
It's all now at an end
One last prayer to amend
Now they he was so young
Is the story that is far flung
He had no way to tell
But he was rather unwell
A last sigh a final breathe
He was overcome by death.

The Right to Success

The sign said turn right and you turned left
A setback and losses from it will make it like theft
It is true that sometimes left is right
Confused you ask whether I'm alright

It is always about knowing your bearings
Planned to the point you avoid red herrings
Life is but a road on which we travel
Avoid danger lest it causes things to unravel

But risks we must take for it's not about fear
Although we tread carefully with what we hold dear
Never you think there's not a message in this
For dismissing life's lessons you end in an abyss

So in a nutshell I must advise you on this matter
Keep your eye on the road avoiding idle chatter
Plan a path to success and consider not to fail
For always think of the wind when you do sail

So going from left to right is about direction
But doing right is to ensure your plan gets traction
Risky it may seem when opening a door or two
Knowledge brings more certainty in what you do

With conviction we are positive we stay strong
Results will reveal itself it won't take long
Patience though for you place constraints on time
We can keep shifting but everything has its paradigm

Soon

Soon

Our life on earth gets shorter with each heartbeat

Then it'll be too late that hearts do meet

When our minds are closed so too a door

A door of opportunity for us love to restore

With  time we do forget what once was something

How we cast aside the good without even blinking

When the caller comes life from our body depart

There'll be no tears for hard was the heart

But there'll be a time we'll meet our Lord

Life has ended soon we'll see what we scored

All our deeds weighing heavily on the good scale

Then one add deed and we that day fail

Yet few ponder even while the information is clear

Isn't it  about bonds and all we hold dear

Sometimes

Sometimes life has a way to teach one even one lesson
Sometimes it may be that it takes a lifetime before realisation

Sometimes it seems that everyone saps the life out of you
Sometimes with failure after failure you know not what to do

Sometimes you think that your contribution maybe helpful
Sometimes everyone expects you only to be dutiful

Sometimes you show your frustration at mere rejection
Sometimes you regret your action upon reflection

Sometimes you struggle to figure what role to play
Sometimes you may want to but then it's better nothing you say

Sometimes you think people's acceptance of you is respect
Sometimes you wonder if the opposite means to reject

Sometimes you sit and wonder at the confusion of it all
Sometimes you consider why your eyes out you do bawl

Sometimes it is merely that you don't know the “when”
Sometimes one must say this feeling of rejection never again

Sometimes we must be patient for we know not the reason
Sometimes it is that we were placed here for others’ repletion

Sometimes it is best that we quietly carry on with life
Sometimes one just has to do a little more to avoid strife

Sometimes with these many tests we are bombarded
Sometimes we learn and with time we are no longer red-carded

Sometimes we must take time to learn our role in life
Sometimes it's in silence we do look forward to the afterlife

Sometimes our test in life is more about our patience
Sometimes  it's sobering to know you will not meet other's expectations

Sometimes it's necessary to continue the best that you can be
Sometimes being agreeable to others will set you free

Suicide or Honour

In the name of Allaah, Most Gracious, most Merciful

Suicide - Can you imagine the trauma a family goes though when someone takes his/her own life. To those who suffer depression or for whatever reason contemplates suicide - remember one thing only - that

you are from God Almighty and to Him you will return.

Live by that and always know that He knows better than you - He, God Almighty, created you and to Him you will return. If he wanted you to kill yourself then suicide would have been an honourable thing. It is only honourable to place your trust firmly in Him, your Lord and Creator, and to take on your challenges. No man/woman is given more that they can bear, but there are no shortcuts, your limits will be tested.

This life is always temporary and the real life is yet to come. No test is easy except for those who curry favour with the examiner in this case - and your Lord God loves that you do that and He will pless you for doing your best to please Him.

Life in this world is like the blink of an eye - stay the course, and be close to Him who will reward you for that little bit of patience - there is a Garden of Bliss!
