Unfinished Work

Alone in office, working late, felt nothing wrong
Suddenly, heard a beautiful voice singing a song
Found her, asked, “ what makes you stay long? "
Unfinished work, said her,“ wait to take you along"

A minute flashed in my mind, thoughts awesome
But said, "let’s meet later, now got to go home"
No son, your life’s done, now with me you come
"I am death", said her, the voice now worrisome

How can it take me ? Unfinished  jobs a plenty
"Finish it", said her, " you have minutes seventy"
Cannot finish, even if you give me years twenty
Makes no difference, you have to leave empty

Too soon but reality, now wait for me the ultimate
Need more time, need to spend with my mate
Strived hard to finish all work, all my time it ate
Unfinished the work remain, realized it very late 

Sree....
