Waiting

I fear that I'm waiting
for something to happen
that won't ever happen
because I am waiting

Forward or Backward

The young live in the future
looking forward all the time
The old live in the days gone by
in memories of their prime
The modern man lives in the now
and hasn't got a second
for looking on or looking back
each minute is a weapon
But I look forward like the young
to times when like the old
I'll look back on the good old days
that's these days, so I'm told.

Resolution

Now comes new year and others will
prompt you for high aims to fulfill
For promises to mend your ways
for three hundred and some odd days

Don't set your target for the year
while influenced by drinking beer
For any target set this way
will vanish by the light of day

Don't set your aim or sights too high
for as the weeks and months go by
and any hope of success goes
your sense of failure grows and grows

Don't set your aim by other's measure
For notions that your friend may treasure
may be quite meaningless to you
and come between and split you two

The best advice that I can give
to help you through this year. To live
in knowledge that each promise won't
be kept at all is simply Don't
