Topic: Times to Look Back on

Low energy day for me, but we still had a bunch to do so I helped knock out enough and then called it a day. This came to me after getting some of what we planned to do today done.

Time to Look Back on

Some days are strong
Some days are not
Some days I give
All that I’ve got
But never a day
Has ever gone by
That I haven’t wanted
You by my side

Some days are weak
Some days are sad
Some days happy
Other days mad
Countless days
And countless hours
But I still get by
You give me the power

But don’t let me bring you down
If I mention my future demise
I never ever meant to bring
Tears to your beautiful eyes

Your eyes who’ve watched over me
Through good times and bad weather
Times that give me belly laughs
I’d never take back, ever

Some days I feel it
Some days I don’t
Some days it bothers me
Others I won’t
Let my mind falter
Or dwell on my fate
Years of good living
I’ve got no room for hate

So, on days like this one
With low energy
Note my talk means
Not much to me
It’s just idle chatter
Flowing out of my head
Nothing to worry
Your beautiful head

So don’t let me bring you down
If I mention my future demise
I never mean to bring you
Tears to your beautiful eyes

Your eyes who always watch over me
Through the times both thick and thin
Memories fond to look back on
And I visit again and again

Re: Times to Look Back on

beautiful sentiments Jeff, you lightened my mood with this. The street where I live is always jam-packed with cars that don't belong here, so I took Ann just a mile away, 5 minutes tops, and by the time I got back some **** has jumped in my parking space, so I was fuming coming on line, I read your poem and felt better, then I read what I've just written and now I'm ready to kill again, metaphorically of course. I'd better read your poem again...     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Hey Phill - Thanks - I hate it when something comes along to ruin my day. Don't let the rabble bring you down my friend. Remember, it's never the chomping alligator that gets you. It's usually all the nibbling ducks. Don't let the nibbling ducks get you....Something my father used to say, of course, he never lived in swampy areas so usually alligators were no threat other than on the occasional visit south of Lake Ponchartrain.

Lost parking space blues...mmmm,

Must be the best space in town
A good place to shut your motor down
Who cares who owns that space
I'll leave my car there anyway.
