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
