I am a mortal man
Though I like to plan
As if my world will never end
I do pretend
That I will live forever
My links will never sever
Every day is child's play
So easy for me to say
I will not die today
Come what may
I will not die today
Maybe some day
I will die
So I'm told
And it's a story that I buy
But I put it on a shelf
Out of sight
A little high
So every day
It's out of mind
Then like a child at play
I lose the time
Drifting on
Through the days
Down the stream
And suddenly
I'll wake up in
Another dream

I performed with Cumbrian Tethera at a music concert at a pub called The Mortal Man in Troutbeck, Cumbria, UK yesterday. Later I wished I had written a song about 'The Mortal Man' so I wrote this poem and hope to turn it into a song
