The Elusive

The Elusive

The rich man in his castle

The poor man at his gate

They all wanted one thing

But for them, it was far too late

The Lawyer in his chambers

The Maiden in her room

Both sought the same gift each time

But alas it was nigh pass noon.

The prime minister in his parliament

The pauper in her home

Thought forever they could keep it

But in an instance, it was gone!

Time is not like money,

Which can be stored each day.

As it comes to you, my friend

Use it right away!!
