In The Fleeting Time
written by: Ferdinand Emmanuel Somtochukwu
If you happen to run into opportunity
down the right course.
Do persist in slowing down
like a child lumbering along
the cracked path of adulthood
Tell her how long you have waited for this day
How far you want to journey with her through eternity
