I’ve come here once again
To share with you my pain
Please don’t treat me with disdain
I’ll soon be off to Spain
Another bill to be paid
More new plans to be laid
Keep trying to make the grade
Embers of life start to fade
Trying hard to generate
Peace and hope, instead of hate
The planet’s in such a state
There’s no point getting too irate
Sit and watch the setting Sun
Children laughing, having fun
Now the day’s nearly done
I’ll have my dinner for one
Take a walk down by the sea
Seagulls fighting intensely
Water keeps flowing relentlessly
The best things in life are free
Getting sand between my toes
Forgetting all my earthly woes
Times have been harsh, and it shows
Like a book, life will one day close.......
