Watching Life Poem by Phil Soar

Watching my life from a wide open place
Sailing along at an unwelcome pace
Not giving me chances to take it all in
Just lots of good memories of places I've been

Years flying by in an alarming fashion
Living my days with a grace and a passion
Trying to slow down, and enjoy each minute
And knowing that there is so much joy within it

Smiling through troubles and grinning at hate
Laughing at those who say I'm overweight
Dreaming of something to help me move on
Enjoying just everything, before it's all gone
