a hand extended
a shoulder lent
courage re-ignited
by a friend
in the nick of time
discipline induced
seeds of culture sown
miracles incubated
by leaders
in the nick of time
realization dawns
much later
you were saved
just in the
nick of time
A hand extended
Creative Experiments and More 
oh how I wish wish our leaders would heed the lesson given here.
Well done!

Timing is everything, isn’t it? So much happens in that proverbial 11th hour. Well done.

I feel that too… too often we are saved at the nick of time.

Hi Reena. Wonderful use of the word nick in your quadrille. They say, “better late than never”.
