dusk arising

turn back the clock

to turn back the clock
and live again those times
those moments
which moved me on
where would i be
who would i not have met

.          what opportunities missed
.                      lips not kissed
.                 words never spoken
.                hearts left unbroken
.             a once aspiring achiever
.         became sardonic disbeliever
.                  spiritually enriched
.                 christianity ditched

.               put my life into hock?
.            and turn back the clock?
.     well i\'d maybe ease the tension
.      with a more rewarding pension
.     but theres only one real wealth
.        mind and body\'s good health
.               and a peel of laughter
.              to greet the hereafter

to turn back the clock
and live again those times
those moments
which moved me on
where would i be
who would i not have met

.          what...  and lose my glorious memories
.                                 you must be joking
