ABOUT THE PAST

We write about the past

Because we don’t know the future

The present goes fast

And this…we have to nurture




As I remember my parents

They had so much to tell

I was so busy with my errands

So much behind I fell




Now I have the time

They are not here to ask

The memory they left behind

Will be my only task




That’s way I am writing

These precious lines in brief

Now is time for binding

Because time is also

A silent thief
