Birthday Poem
Tick-tock
Went the clock
The day I wanted to stop.
The pitter-patter,
Chitter-chatter.
The walks,
The squaks
And the all 'important talks'
The day I wanted to stop.
Intrusion, confusion, pollution
And social 'evolution'
The day I wanted to stop.
The swearing, the caring.
The 'how are you faring?'
The day I wanted to stop.
The girl, the boy.
That unexpected smile.
Kindness flowing
Kept me going;
If only for awhile,
On the day I wanted to stop.
A little something I wrote on my birthday.
