Time On My Hands
19 January, 2007
Author: Robert
My days have slowed down
But where do they go?
Am I still the same man
That I used to know?
I worried and fretted
And longed for the day,
I could hang up my tools
And do things my way.
Well the day’s finally come
I’m through with commands.
I’ve paid all my dues,
I have time on my hands.
When I look in the mirror,
Who do I see?
Is this someone I know
Looking back at me?
I like who I see,
He can stay for a while,
With time on his hands
He’s wearing a smile.

| Catyrose (128.123.85.206) -- Sunday, January 21 2007, 04:42 am this write tremendously. Same guy, but much more relaxed, huh? I know the feeling. Whenever I get a break from classes I feel like I've gone into an early retirement, and discover that with time on my hands I can do so many fun things I put aside when life is at it's usual frenetic pace. Enjoy your retirement. I am SO looking forward to my own about 15 yrs. from now :( |
