Living the Dream
Through the seasons in your life
What matters changes
In first flush of youth
Scholarly accolades count
Belonging in your social circle
The right trainers and hoodie
Maturity shifts needs and priorities
A good job,
Nice home, new car
Two point four children
A holiday in the sun
With greying temples
New desires dawn,
Focus changes
A slower burn
Less immediate
Horizons pushed farther
Appreciating each day
Of life and love
And sound knees
Marvelling at nature
And the new generations
Living the dream
No longer about material pleasures
More simple ones magnified
By the lens of time
And the knowledge
That each today is unrepeatable
And each tomorrow is precious
