harry hayes Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 This one i,m afraid is still mainly for oldies - what else at my age? Has a strange title. DON'T DIE WITH MUSIC STILL INSIDE YOU. Perchance for times of darkness, God gave us memory lane; Where life is as it should be, And shall, on heavenly plane. Yesterday, it lives forever, Our days of youth are stored; Within the mind a treasure box, And the only key is yours. The old house is still a'standing, Loving parents by the gate; Smoke billows from the chimney, Kettle whistling on the grate. Outside, the sound of children, Hop-scotch and bat on ball; The friends you used to play with, Have aged, no, not at all. There,s a comfort in the attic, But it's not a place to dwell; The echoing of your own thoughts, In excess, a living hell. Most people are not quite happy, But disguise the fact some-how; This life was meant for living, Our time, forever now. In truth, these are the best of times, Yes, flawed in many ways; But too soon your younger loved ones, Will call them "Golden Days" Harry Hayes 22.9.07 [ 28.09.2007, 13:53: Message edited by: harry hayes ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I like it and I do not think it is just for oldies Harry - anyone that looks back and sees the past can enjoy this and also anyone with introspection can realize our memories can sometimes be flawed. But that is my opinion. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
