Life...


I'm afraid to look ahead
I don't know want to know what I will find
But lately I've been thinking
and a few things have come to mind


Where will I be tomorrow
when the sun begins to rise?
Where will I be in 20 years
when I look back and remember the time?


Life is just a passing thing
it was never meant to stay
We were all put here together
but could be taken back any day


Friends come and go
and relationships never last
But these are the good old days
the ones that will fill our past


Don't let these days slip away
you'll never get them back
you were put here to live
and you're never going to last


So when it's all said and done
and your time on earth is through
Don't look back and have regrets
Be happy with everything you do.

Hi Shelley

Thanks for the poem .

Now, I realise what all those poetry reading and appreciation lessons I had were in preparation for!: Shelley's poems!

Great stuff, where do you get the poems from? Do you write your own, too? I tried once, (to impress a girl but it didn't work!), but gave it up as it takes a lot of time (for me) to come up with the right nice word. Keep 'em coming.

Best wishes

Hi Shelley - I've read thru' your poem several times, and as with most poems I think I can see a degree of agreement with the way I feel.

To me each day is unique. To-day's sunrise will never happen again, to-morrows sunrise may not happen.

Every thing in our world is transient. All things are born (in one way or another), exist for a while, then pass into a different form.

We, as humans, can only measure these changes by relating to what we regard as time.

A Mayfly's initial existence can be measured in a day of our time. A human's presence of say 85 years is again measured in our perception of time.

But what about rocks, mountains and such like. Their presence is measured in geological time which makes our brief appearance look really puny.

I do take refuge in the fact that nothing on this planet can be totally destroyed. It can only change it's form. To be morbid even when a person body is cremated it's not destroyed. It's changed into 5 or 6 lbs of ash, plus gases released into the atmosphere.

Right, I've rambled on enough I wait to be ridiculed, shown the errors in my thinking or whatever.

Hi Pikeman, no reason whatsoever for anyone to ridicule you because the way you think says it all

and im in total agreement Sorry i pressed the add reply button before i had finished my text
