Poetry that thinks out loud

BEFORE I AM LEFT OLD AND GREY


Before I am left old and grey

I'll live my life from day to day

And make sure what I did was right

By keeping loved ones within sight.


Success is not by what you earn,

But many men are yet to learn;

The values of the life they lead

As many men still fall to greed.


I've lived the times, when times are hard,

When you're afraid to drop your guard,

But through those times love stands its test

And love it never needs a rest.


When looking back I want to see

The happy times time's that came to be.

Instead of wishing I did more

And seeing love as just a chore.
