I Sit

Although I sit where others sat I know not what they thought I cannot dream the dreams they dreamt For the past cannot be sought Yet though I sit where others sat I cannot thoughts deny That wonder what the thoughts they had That times denied them try When others sitting where I sat Survey their land of dreams Spare little thought for others sat My dreams worth nought, they deem When no one sits where others sat And times have seen decay Best take the time to dream our dreams Lest lose our dreams today For tomorrow brings a different day That heralds bright and new A day that others call their day But, not for me or you

It reads like a sad love song... the rhythm is so true and the rhyming perfect that it could easily be set to music. I love your final verse, sad though it may be. Well done Terry. Keith
