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
