We drift along like clouds

Believing time is on our side,

Sauntering along no doubts

That everything will just work out,

That all we want to do

Will happen sometime soon,

Just be patient and it will come

Then we notice our lives are almost done.

We each then reflect on all

The time we wasted like a fools ,

Believing you don’t need to try

And everything will be fine,

But the truth you then realise

To get what you want you have to fight,

You have to put in the work

And now that truth really hurts.

For now when mid life  and beyond appears

The motivation has disappeared,

Your energy has started to wane

And you’ve started to feel your age,

And though in mind we are forever young

The time may have been and gone,

So whatever in life comes your way

My friends never delay.

Take hold of the chances that come

Work hard and move them along,

And achieve all you want be

Don’t do regret, and  strive to be happy.
