Tardy

Do not come too late for this.

A birth: that we had all waited for.

A life: that we had longed to celebrate.

This journey: that I waited for us to take.

Because not all chances come again.

Because sometimes it is now or never.

And the mountain closed its doors because you were too slow

And you are left on the platform

Or even on the shelf.

But then again like Moses and the Bard you should know:

Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
