Days

Younger days, were greener days Silver memories on the shelf Yesterdays, in many ways So wrapped up with myself Saturdays, were laughing days When time was still in wealth Every day, that passed my way Slipped on by in stealth Now these days, I hang and graze No longer pull the plough So eyes may gaze on coming days Not yet thrown in the towel All those days, left in a haze Wont come back, no how So I say, come what may It doesn't matter now Any day that I can stay No need to wear a frown Sunny days or rainy days Just simply hang around Lazing days, embracing ways To lay my trophies down When my days, all pass away My poems are where I'll be found March 15 2016

Thank you, nette. I would hope we would all like to know that future generations could some day read our poems and get to know who we were. We would have fulfilled our dream. Always really enjoy the visits. I think it would be nice to have a conversation with you sipping a nice cold glass of milk with chocolate chip cookies. Peace my friend:)

Thank you, Tim. Yes it is a somber poem and is best when read slow. I had it in the notes at top but took them out, I assumed everyone would figure that out. I appreciate your super kind comments. Peace my friend:)
