Just one of the 100 of my best-loved poems included in my latest book 'Clve's Uni-Verse - A Cornishman's take on life'.  It is in both Paperback and Amazon Kindle eBook formats.

I want to walk in my golden years, On the Cornish beaches’ warm gold sands, Where my footsteps are unhurried, And my route is seldom planned. I want to sit on the wooden benches, Overlooking those dark blue bays, I want to breath in this fresh salt air, Until the ending of my days. I don’t want to become immortal; Living for forever and a day, I just want to savour life in this world, No matter how long or short my stay. I don’t want my life extended for the sake of it, With no reason or rhyme, I just want to live in the here and the now, And enjoy this - my quality time.
