SO much time has slipped away-
I am seventy two years old today-
THE years went by just so fast-
I thought my younger years would last-
MY LORD  one day you're just a lad-
Then you're old suddenly and thats' so sad-
Today is a reflection on times past-
I thought my younger days would last-
SO much fitted in a lifetime for sure-
I guess I expected a whole lot more-
Imagine a life with a second chance-
I'D be so happy I'D sing and dance-
I would change in so many ways-
I would really enjoy my days-
I'D change the world if I  can-
I'D be such a different man-
I'D paint a smile on everyones' face-
The world would be a better place-
BUT nowI'M  seventy two -it's time to rest-
For-I have taken lifes' greatest test
I was here and did it my way-
I enjoyed it all what can I  say?
GOD is now knocking on my door-
For here on earth I'M needed no more-
I did my job -my last day was sound-
Now HE'S  waiting I'MHEAVEN bound-
THE END--
A POEM WRITTEN WITH DEEP EMOTION AS I GET OLDER BY THE DAY.
