Happiness came,
Waited and cried,
Asking for one chance
Of forgiveness.
But, repeated requests
Fell on ears deaf,
Shamelessly seething
In anger and pride.
The gift that came
Unasked earlier,
Was asked to leave,
Trampled and Stamped.
Fear can't find peace,
Hatred can't love, and
Impatience can't trust -
Wind'll take what it brings.
And yet she called
In the name of love,
To look back
And listen!
But the stupid stakes
Were high, and
Tempers did fly, and
Forces surrounded the sky.
A lesson not learnt
Is a lesson lost!
So, for the soul to grow,
Has to alas again try!
Thus spake life
Of a man
Who lacked worthiness
Of friendship.
