Life

Life

A Poem by Wild Rose

Life is a constant Battle

 

 

Struggling on our way

To meet targets

Or better things

 

Attending night school

Moving home

Slowly climb the ladder

 

Attain higher job

Retire from work

A new life begins

 

Time to fill

Try new hobbies

Take a cruise

 

Longer trip planned

No one goes for so long

We do and lots like us

 

Do you still drive

I'm only seventy

But I mean - So old

 

Wait until you get to my age

I'm still fit

Fitter than you

 

I am not going to sit watching the flower grow

I intend to enjoy life

You can sit and watch the flowers

 

If you want

Just don't expect me to join you

Until I am forced to do

 

Bye must go now to join the cruise
