The thought of why?

Written  9.6.01 3^rd verse added 9.7.01

The days go drifting by

Untill the day

The day we die

Then a thought of why

I didn’t try

To live life to the full

A splash of champagne

Relieves some pain

A nice holiday in the sun

Brings some fun

Until the sight of poverty

Brings home the sense of novelty

Of having so much next to so little

A stark contrast

Having a fast car

May get you far

But takes you to the same junction

Go up or down?

May make you the clown

If you choose the wrong lane

Lots of greenage

And a platinum card

A nice big house

And a jaguar

May disguise the greatest gift of all

Found in a little book and a church hall

Written 03/03/06

The days go drifting by

Until the day

The day we die

What a dismal start to have back then

Not so on such a cheery day

Should I allow myself to be dismayed

Even when I've just spilt doctor pepper on me

it is far better now I  feel free

The thought why I didn't try to live life to the full

Or maybe why I try and try and try too live life to the full

What need have I to feel worried

On hol in a very windy Turky

Though foreign to everyone else?

What a need for difference

A change of pace so valuable

Is hardly a collectible

Not knowing when it will come around

Is part of how a change can astound

Why am I here and not there?

Why why why should I care?

What is a care?

Big and self sustaining

How can I rely on that when I

I'm changing

A constant I need and yet

That which I must remember to forget

On top of me life I must not let

Or in ridiculousness cast my bets

So that nasty moments in times of fret

Don't  in carelessness become a threat

Meaning in a little book and church hall

Oh back then my thoughts were small

The book is big and larger by the day

The world is huge

yet standing, dancing

Walking, talking

Bathing, laughin, spending, saving

Here, there but not everywhere can I be

All is compatible as “I Am” says he
