I Had A Dream
by
Kevin L Fairbrother
My paid working life as come to a end
Not rich… Not Poor… On a pension
With a lifetime of memories to recall
I am rich in experience that I will pass on
…
I had a dream that when I retired
I would work less and enjoy life more
But that dream did not become reality
As I am working more and relaxing less
…
Maybe the cause is my management of time
With family and friends taking up my waking hours
Or it may be because I don’t get out of bed till 9am
And half the day has gone and I’m not even dressed
…
There is always something to do, or somewhere to go
And there is never enough hours to do what I’ve set myself
But deep down I don’t mind as it occupies my day
As I just cant recollect where my time was spent
…
The words above I just wrote in the last hour
After cutting and splitting 4 ton of firewood
I felt the need to justify my time by writing this poem
For my new dream is to become a writer of poetry
