LIFE ! for some a journey , for others a destination

Time

ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

you fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way

kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown

waiting for someone or something to show you the way

tired of lying in the sun shine

staying home to watch the rain

you are young and life is long

and there's time to kill today

and then one day you find

ten years have gotten behind you

no one told you when to run

you've missed the starting gun

and you run and you run

to catch up with the sun

but it's sinking

racing around to come up behind you again

the sun is the same in the relative way

but you're older

shorter of breath

and one day closer to death

every day is getting shorter

never seems to find the time

plans that either come to naught

or half a page of scribbled lines

hanging on in quiet desperation

is the English way

the time is gone

the song is over

thought i'd something more to say

DEDICATION : BEWARE NOT TO HAVE THESE BITTER FEELINGS AT THE END OF YOUR JOURNEY
