Just a Little More Time. xxxxxx ap May 2006.

I am writing this down while I have the time,

A ‘space’ to use and all of it mine,

Words with a meaning for me to relate,

Just a little time-that’s all it will take.

There is so much in life that I wanted to do,

Go to University to be educated like you,

To travel the world to see all things fine,

If only I had had, a little more time.

I would have loved to have visited exotic places,

To drink in the beauty of wide-open spaces.

To see the wondrous, awesome sights,

For I would have had the time of my life.

To bump into the famous or ‘sup’ with the rich,

But life isn’t like that, for it can be a bitch,

It is up to each of us to decide what to do,

To make time for these things, it is up to you.

But how time can fly when we’re having fun?

All the hard work of the day now is done,

Friends to enjoy and the pleasure is mine,

For I have used very well that extra time.

I have time a plenty to now spend with you,

Go down to the pub and “have a few”.

Make time stand still-and the moment seize

Till the landlord calls out, “Time Gentleman please”.

I often wish I had taken the time to say

Just how much I missed you while you were away,

The ‘moment’s’ now gone for I left it too late

I wasted that time, it was a big mistake.

It is no use wishing you had visited or cared

For that close family whose lives you’ve shared,

Don’t leave it too late for this warning is mine,

For those that we love, can run out of time.

Time after time I wish I’d been told,

Not to ‘waste’ time for we quickly grow old.

All the time in the world I felt was mine

I’d have done it all, with just a little more time.

***********************

Or, how about THIS one?

GETTING THERE! 18^th March 2007 during our visit to London when we went up and down so many steps I could not count them all. Was I ever Jiggered?

Nobody taught me about getting OLD

When I went to school t’was a lesson untold,

I was taught how to be kind, honest and true,

But how to cope with stiff hips and legs, lessons were few.

We were taught how to count pounds, shillings and pence,

Yet for practical use, it remained “future tense”,

If only we had wheels instead of feet

In old age, I’d have whizzed past, it would have been quite a treat,

To see an ‘old codger’ right up to date

Overtaking all new-comers at quite a fast rate.

But I now find steps steeper going up, than coming down,

And often more of them, which brings forth a frown,

I never thought for a moment I would struggle one day,

Be so slow to trundle and get in other folk’s way.

For they rush by as I once travelled so fast,

But it was life itself we are all in a hurry to pass,

If only we’d been taught how to get about, when old,

Yet sadly, it STILL remains a subject untold!
