Time

Rukhsana Shaheen 1951 (Pakistan)



The beautiful flowers in my garden
Are going to fade
The trees in  my  way to home
Give different shade
Once upon a time I remember
I was a child very  cute
Now I am grown up ,people say
And a little bit rude too
My heartfelt  feelings are very touching
Tomorrow  may be changed
I often  hear people saying
The time has changed
To my perception I think
Appearance  is a story
And reality get a title.
Time is constantly flowing
And The Time is Elan vital
