9 IN MY FORTIES

so now I've reached my forties, I think I'm finally getting old
the pace of life has slowed now, my exploits not so bold
but little did I realise, I'd feel my life had just begun
we bought ourselves another house, and we had holidays in the sun.

the next house that we purchased, brought us closer to our friends 
which gave us a chance to party with each other on weekends
those times were filled with laughter, lots of banter, wine and beer
come again next week they said, same time, same place, right here.

my first time flying on a plane, was to visit the USA
had a holiday in Las Vegas, that just blew my mind away
and the three weeks that we spent there, were so truly unforgettable
but the fact we never made a return trip, was very much regrettable.

the next break that we booked, was to the island of Corfu
to me that was pure heaven, a real fantastic dream come true
we spent the mornings at the poolside, and afternoons down on the beach
where we sat there people watching, with cold drinks in easy reach.

but time goes by and thing do change, life keeps rolling on
and before you even know it, the years have all but gone
we moved into a bungalow, that was meant to last for life
we'd been together for twenty years as a husband and a wife.
