Memoirs. Poem by Ross Mabey

Poem - Memoirs.

By Ross Mabey.

If I were famous I'd write a memoir, ​
About my life's story as it is thus far.​
Any claims to fame, on my part would be tenuous, ​
So I can't make any claims, for they'd be erroneous. ​
​
I have written the lyrics for poems and songs,
Some people say they like them, right or wrong.​
I write whatever comes to mind, ​
If you judge them, please don't be too unkind.​
​
I like to write about love, honour and truth, ​
Of those idyllic times, in the days of our youth.
When life looked so optimistic and rosey,
Until cold reality cast its net,
And we realised things weren't so cosy.
