The Party

Dirty dishes litter table and kitchen

The last guest just walked out the front door

You are all by yourself, nobody to pitch in

Nobody to help you with your chore

 

The party was swell, a great success

They all had fun, were raucous and loud

Now you are stuck with a big ugly mess

Left behind by the birthday crowd

 

Another year older with nothing to show

You sit at the table with a last glass of wine

And silently wonder where the time did go

If at last you had reached the bottom line

 

The mind says it is time for a change

To search and look for something new

To evaluate and maybe re-arrange

The life you are now going through

 

It is not so easy though

To leave old habits behind

Much easier to go with the flow

Than to change your heart and mind

 

But in the end you have no choice

You know what you have to do

To fervently give the thoughts a voice

And re-invent a brand-new you
