THERE ARE TIMES...

In life, there are times when we are faced with sorrow,
And the troubles of our yesterday keep us from seeing a brighter tomorrow,
But it is at such a time as this that we ought to appreciate the works of nature,
And with the right attitude look into the future,

In friendship, there are times when we are faced with a dilemma-to choose between ourselves and the ones we love,
And sometimes the cares of this world keep us from seeing the true friends sent us from above,
But it is at such a time as this that our relationships are put to the test, and the true friends stick closer than a brother,
And the love of our soul mate become more strongly felt than that of a mother,

In marriage, there are times when we are tempted to jettison the chastity vows of the institution,
There are also times when we are tempted to give into a compromise, which may lead to a lifetime of Syphilis from the cistern of an embodiment of prostitution,
 However, it is at such a time as this that we are meant to ponder over the significance of the marriage vow,
And to the world our fidelity show,

In trade and business, there are times when we watch with painful hearts, all our life's toil crumble down,
And we in dismay, feel down,
But on the bright side, it is at such a time as this that life presents us with opportunities to move over,
To a better place and a brighter side, and with keenness and acumen, start over,

Even in education, there are times when we are faced with the desire for competition,
And the passion to be praised alter our disposition,
 Ergo, we often times forget, it is at such a time as this that we consider the real essence of education;
Not to amass awards and recognition, but to be empowered to positively affect our generation.
