New Studies.

We were sitting chatting,

My Granddaughter and I,

When she asked a question.

“If you were to study again,

Would you still study science?”

What a profound question.

My life started in science,

It was my dream at school,

I wanted nothing else

And a scientist I became.

It served me well

For many years,

And was the foundation

On which my life was built.

Looking back now

From my elder years

My life has changed.

 

Although music has been with me

As the years went by,

Music became more meaningful.

Then I found art,

The appreciation of wonderful works

Assailed my soul.

The final change came to me

Late on in my existence,

As I found I could write words,

Words on a page,

These words became so important.

My life was filled

With music,

With art,

With words,

And always with love.

So would I study science again?

Surely the answer would be no

As the arts of the world

Now held such a strong hold

Over my life.
