Array ( [sid] => 7540 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => End Of Your Time [time] => 2002-11-27 06:00:00 [hometext] => Questions we all ask ourselves from
time to time as we get older. Just one man's philosophy on it all. Haku [bodytext] => When young I never thought of growing old.
Such thoughts are not entertained,
when I was feeling energetic and bold.
At the time I couldn't see,
that time was sneaking up on me!
Not only didn't I see, I didn't care,
to busy running everywhere.

Time now has taken me around the bend.
Thoughts trickling through tiny tears,
thinking about the inevitable end.
At fifty my knowledge did not ebb away,
it is only now I have time to let it play!

The years from fifty on, seem to me devine,
with solid convictions learned through time.
Time holds freedoms,
now I didn't have before.
I feel I have opened a brand new door.

As sixty arrives with not a lie,
on the knowledge I have I can rely.
When comes the time to turn and die,
I can restfully relax with a satisfying sigh.
Put my soul in the hands of our Lord,
For that is what is left of what I can afford.

Haku
