URGENCY

 

 

I want to write about the places I have seen and not been back

I want to write about the people I have met along the track

I want to write about my family, my neighbours and my friends

I want to write about these things and how the stories end.

 

I must do this before the chance to write is gone.

I want to write about this lovely world of scenery

Of waterfalls and rivers, lakes and brooks I've swum with glee

I want to write of people who have passed along my way

Of loves and mere acquaintances that brightened every day

 

I must do this before the chance to write is gone.

I want to write of babies that I cherished, nursed and fed

The games we played and tunes we sang before they went to bed

I want to write of birthdays, Halloweens and Christmastides

And all the gifts that I received that made me swell with pride

 

I must do this before the chance to write is gone.

I want to write of hobbies that I found to claim my mind

Playing the piano, painting pictures, pressing flowers I could find

I want to write of souvenirs from places I have been

Silver spoons and pottery, show-rides that made me scream

.

I must do this before the chance to write is gone.

I want to write of many things that made my life such fun

The fancy dress, the circuses and snowfights with everyone

I want to write so much, my friends, you'll wonder how I can

Sit here merely talking thus, instead of getting it done!

 

I must do this before the chance to write is gone.♣

What a superb flow of metered verse, full of joy, a smidge of fun at the end.. tis beautiful, truly is. Plus, it's true, one has to get the words flying all around before things slow a little, before thoughts become stay-abeds. ;Rather think you'll be going quite a while yet. mary.
