Time to reflect on yesteryear
To think of days long gone
As you reclined in comfort in the garden
And for company had the Radio on
You thought of the days as a young girl
When you ran and skipped with ease
On the way for a meeting in the Park with your friends
To enjoy yourselves in any way you please
There were swings and even a roundabout
Which you could all jump on and ride
As you sit and contemplate what to do next
Perhaps come down backwards on the slide
Though childhood at the time passed so slowly, so it seemed
But on reflection those days went so fast
And you realised your schooldays were over
When your final Exams you had passed
And now into a young lady you had grown
Perhaps with tears that mixed with laughter
It was time for you to earn a living on your own
To succeed in life you have to be a grafter
You knew it wouldn’t be too easy
In that great big world out there to find
A career that would give you most security
And to live your life with peace of mind
But if you were asked to look back, in life
Is there something you would choose to change
Or do you merely accept life as it is
And nothing wish to re-arrange
For life is a long and winding road
And wisdom comes with age
Instead of growing older, as you think
In your book of life you’ve written another page
And now you’ve come back to the present day
Is there somewhere you’d like to go
Or are you content to sit in the Garden
And listen to your Radio.
