” How soon Hath Time ” Paraphrasing and critical appreciation

The fleeting time , like a thief has stolen away my twenty three years of life. Time is flying on its wings. The days of life are  hasting away. My life has not yet rendered any spiritual or mental ripeness , which is  the over flowering of a bud.

May be outward appearance does not show any inner reality. That is why I do not seem to be reaching near to my maturity and manhood. My inward maturity has not yet appeared on my face. The same ripeness has already appeared for others by now. I am still devoid of the maturity.

My maturity in the form of another blessing maybe it is less or more will definitely bestowed on me .The process of maturity may be quick moving or it comes at a slow pace. But it will definitely come to me.it is a must for me to be patient and resigned to the will of God. I must show resilience. My power of maturity will be granted to me. Time is leading me onto my destination. I have to follow the will of God only. God is a great and strict taskmaster. He sees everything with equal benignity. I am no exception in the eyes of God. He will bless me and bestow me with Grace kindness and maturity.
