Five of them were foolish.
And five were wise.
What really do we realise
And what do we surmise.

Are our lamps ready.
We do not know when our bridegroom will arrive .
Is our faith steady.
Does it thrive.

Death may take us.
Ready or not.
But it certainly is for us.
However we tie life’s entangled knot.

The knock on the door does sound.
Death now or later is all around.

……

When will the knock come
Yes the door may be well locked
But death will knock soon.

……

See Matthew 25 : 1-13
