Life deletes each day we live. It vanishes through a life long sieve. We spend it; waste it, as it flies Days pass us, months and years go by. We spend it quickly, without a thought Our life goes fast it can’t be bought. It sheds no worries as it flows Another year is all we know. That mountain peak, that paradise cove, We wanted to seek some time ago. Our friends start dropping as they die What did we do, as life goes by? We worried, argued, worked and played We laughed and cried along the way. Those dreams we keep inside our head They still are there they are not dead. What keeps us bumming down a beach What keeps us climbing that highest peak? Fear which youth have not yet learnt No fears no worries no bridges burnt. Now golden years are on their way I’ll take up flying or should I stay I’ll find an isle, the sea so bright Maybe a tsunami will come that night. Forget it all it gives me a pain Just to think my life away. I’ll feed the cat, the dog will play I’ll think of life another day. Susan Oliver owner of A Fun Gift Shop October 15th 2010.
