Pace

Sometimes I sits meself down and wonder,

What it was, my very blunder,

That sees me regularly ill-at-ease,

Filled with worry, stress and disease.

Did I commit some un-reckonable wrong,

That I must live through all life  long,

Or was it perhaps another life,

That bills this one with trouble and strife?



Sometimes I’m taken quite a’back,

By rumours, gossip and other flack,

Other times it’s found ‘just hard work,

That puts my temperament out of perk,

While sometimes I just look and laugh,

To prevent becoming completely daft,

Though possibly it’s no great test,

To live a life with little rest.



Though in note of looking back,

I can see a distant winding track,

That o’er hill and into dale,

I often leapt and if not abseiled.

Yet now I find myself trekking on,

To hopefully right what might be wrong,

So I’ll give the kettle a passing nod,

And instead of leaping; keep on the plod.

The answer is quite simple for most, yet for all the answer is not simple.

Quite a romantic piece...if one were so inclined as to believe in that sort of thing. Very nicely done, Richard. As always the kindness excels in these words of a true heart. No matter what things we see behind us...we can never see the future...there is always another sunrise. Thank you for sending...
