End Of Your Time

Contributed by haku on Wednesday, 27th November 2002 @ 06:00:00 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



When young I never thought of growing old.
Such thoughts are not entertained,
when I was feeling energetic and bold.
At the time I couldn't see,
that time was sneaking up on me!
Not only didn't I see, I didn't care,
to busy running everywhere.

Time now has taken me around the bend.
Thoughts trickling through tiny tears,
thinking about the inevitable end.
At fifty my knowledge did not ebb away,
it is only now I have time to let it play!

The years from fifty on, seem to me devine,
with solid convictions learned through time.
Time holds freedoms,
now I didn't have before.
I feel I have opened a brand new door.

As sixty arrives with not a lie,
on the knowledge I have I can rely.
When comes the time to turn and die,
I can restfully relax with a satisfying sigh.
Put my soul in the hands of our Lord,
For that is what is left of what I can afford.

Haku
