[Poetry Friday] “In Good Time” by Abimbola T. Alabi

Fats here.

Happy Friday! How are you holding up? It has been ten days since our library closed due to the pandemic. In between chores, reading, and the occasional “Netflix and chill,” I haven’t been doing much. Regardless of what’s keeping you busy during this time, I hope you are well!

My Poetry Friday offering this week is all about biding time. I found it online, courtesy of Family Friend Poems. Thank you, Tabatha @ The Opposite of Indifference, for hosting the Poetry Friday round-up!

In Good Time

by Abimbola T. Alabi

Life can seem an endless maze,
The twists and turns, lulls and delays,
But things always fall into place…
In good time.

Friends will sometimes go away.
Some may disappoint or others betray,
But new ones will come to stay…
In good time.

The hurt of getting something wrong,
And the lesson it often brings along
Are there, you see, to make you strong…
In good time.

Kindness freely given away,
Unnoticed now, will somehow find its way
Back to you and come to stay…
In good time.

Efforts seem not to pay to plan?
Forge on friend, doing the best you can.
Fortune will find the deserving man…
In good time.

Life can be tough, there’s no doubt,
But hope is the thing we can’t do without.
Right things with joy will come about…
In good time.
