Just so you know, friend 
As we proceed, steps steps     
Attention class, hamsters in suit  


Look here, look here  
Chatter box, on pontification  
I am talking, now you listen 


And as before on day break   
On dawn, to take up tools   
To sweat in worship of success 


After this day 
When shadows are cast 
On migrating birds   


Past the hour of working clocks    
Safety hats, telephones ring rings  
And hot tea at 7 am with biscuits, being "English"  


Okay still a day left in hours, granted
Maintain your position in role play 
Like a soldier on the front line


So as we proceed 
Bucket list in scribbles, 
Of tangos in acts to follow


Before sun rise,  and cock crows 
Becomes of let loose 
And stress balls are back into fashion  


As we proceed 
Just so you know, 
I am not saying 


As in saying, thus saying, 
As said of nothing 
Dramatic like kicking the basket


But just so you know 
To avoid confusion
I am on about the weekend's bucket list


Who is in, show of hands 
Getting off treadmill as we proceed 
Attention all, as we proceed

Ok now get ready for the 
Big kiss from me 
To seal the deal 

Treasures Of Life

In treasures of life,..

In life I have lived..

In living I have witnessed, through paths of life..

In paths I have walked on, along my journey home..

In things I have seen, in places I have been..

In people I have met, on the long way home..

In days I wish were unending,...

In tears I did cry of joy..

In movies of the tear jerkers, 

In t' sight of  my eye, that renders..

In hugs and smell, handshakes and smile..

In the rains  that fall, that wet my soul

In the sun burns I felt, in summers day 

In winter's chill, that shivers my bones

In springs breeze,  and sensations on my skin..

On relief of pain for joy,..

Of success and strive..

Of failure and cliff hangers..

Of anxiety and despair..

Of all the memories I have..

And oh so, so treasured..

And when finally I am gone..

And my wish of treasured memories..

Are stored in vaults  awaiting my rebirth..

If ever I am  reincarnated 

If ever I make it back to this world  

If ever I am reborn again, where ever in this world

If  only you could give me, such treasures of memory 

I had before, I would be grateful 

On living again on this earth

And having all that beauty to cherish 

If only this was part of the package of reincarnation
