I sit here
The blank sheet in front of me
And think of my life,
My long life.
In that life I realise,
Realise that I have had a good life.
I worked all the time,
All those forty-seven years and one month,
Never out of work
And was happy with my work.
I had the odd day like us all
When I wished I hadn’t got up,
But they were few and far between.
I was married for nearly forty years,
Married to a wonderful lady
With whom we never rowed
And lived that life in harmony.
Then dementia struck her
Such an awful time,
She passed due to dementia,
But when she passed
We both had a release,
A release into a new life.
After a while a new lady came,
Came into my life
And a new love was formed
Where we know,
Know that love will never die.
Lastly throughout my life
I have had music.
Music has been there since my birth.
All types of music is within me
And I listen all the time,
And I play and sing music.
Music is my life
And will always be with me,
With me and my new love
As we go forward forever,
Dancing to the music,
The music of time.

- Comment from author about the poem: I have and am having a good life. If you are wondering why the men n the orchestra are wearing white bow ties it is because courtesy in the past said that if men were dressed in dinner jackets that they wore black bow ties but if ladies were present they should where white bow ties.
