Sad Times

Sad Times
AS I SIT I WONDER WHY,
ITS TIMES LIKE THIS I WANT TO CRY.
A WORLD THATS FILLED WITH BADNESS
AND ALL I FEEL IS SADNESS.

ONE DAY ONE SO FULL OF LIFE
THE NEXT WE KNOW IS FULL OF STRIFE
ONCE A FLOWER IN FULL BLOOM
NOW HAS FADED TO ONLY GLOOM

OH I YEARN FOR YESTER YEAR
FOR TIMES WHEN LIFE SEEMED MUCH MORE CLEAR
WHEN WE ONLY DREAMT OF MODERN TIMES
BUT KNEW THEN NOTHING OF ITS CRIMES

WHEN LIFE IS TAKEN AWAY FROM US
ITS ONLY THEN WE MAKE A FUSS
ALL WE HAVE IN LIFE TODAY
IS NOTHING WHEN WE ARE IN THE CLAY

AS I SIT I WONDER WHY
HOW OUR LIVES MAKE ME SIGH
MAYBE SOON WE'LL UNDERSTAND
THAT LIFE ITSELF IS ALL THATS GRAND.

Hi there!
Read the poem. sense you pain.
I also yearn for the past, or what could have been.
But lifes not like that. there are no second chances.
It's like a soap star doing a live episode of a show,
If they get it wrong there is nothing they can do about it.

"Life's a funny thing, no body ever gets out alive!"

Karren x

True, very true Karren. I wrote that poem after some young people I knew were in a serious car accident where not all of them survived. Any time someone dies too young I'm reminded of it and on Friday an Irish icon passed away which has left alot of people in a state of shock and once again the poem came to my mind so thought I post it here to see what others thought.
