It's Not Over Until It's Over
When quite young ageing wasn't in his thoughts
life was for living, speed, fun and parties,
late nights, late mornings, T-shirts, football shorts
eat fast food, chase girls that looked like barbies,
no cares, and no responsibility
One night stands, selfish, hormonal, senseless,
took chances, no vulnerability,
time wasting, so much time to be reckless,
months, years pass fast, fun becomes memories
now funerals more common than weddings
pains, aches, search for medical remedies
peruse photographs, old films, his writings,
he may be quite old but not finished yet
there are things in life he still needs to get.
