We all start,
(Much to future chagrin, in fact)
Invincible.
It is these words, that
Carry wax wings
Where feeble hope dares not,
And bitter truth knows better.
Somewhere, somewhere, long the way,
Belongs to me, as some might say,
The right to dreams come true.
Where it went, or where it may
Perhaps by reason led astray
I wish, I wish, I knew.
For flying, I fear
Speaks not to the gifts we are given
But the prize
Forever
Out of reach.
And here am I, and who am I
To, truly now, complain?
Ive watched the seconds, wander by,
Ive watched them wait, and glance, or try
And I have let them down, Im afraid.
And this, this,
This is your pension plan.
For you and I, old friend,
Are too old
To not know better.
So easy, like the record skips,
Ill just forget the million trips
I swore Id take, Id see
And softly now, the music slips,
Perhaps another second chips
Away, a piece of me.
~Lullabye, and good night,
Let your childhood dreams slumber
Hush the stars, dim the lights,
(Til the end of your days.)

Hi,
How did I miss this one when posted 5 weeks
ago?? No matter - I've read it now.
A lovely piece of poetry - beautifully worded and
rhymically sound. Missed opportunities - unfulfilled
dreams - we've all been there!
Well written!
Tommy
