New Start

Made it !

Another fresh new year and another chance to pick up the reins, so's to speak. Lots of challenges and problems too I'm sure. No matter, we are still here and so long as we are we can carry on. But with one change, lets carry on better. What ever we do, when ever we do it, who ever we do it to or for, lets try to do it better. Iv'e added a poem called The Future which is for all the people who can't believe it's 2007 or never thought they'd live this long or see so much.

Happy New Year !

The Future.

Well here we are,
Where we all wanted to be.
Far from the life we knew,
In the time we all thought we’d never live to see.

All our old friends behind us,
Laid in the folds of life.
Echoes from our journey,
Sometimes crying joy, sometimes screaming strife.

Luxuries all around us,
Pastel shades and shining chrome.
Central locking, ninety channels,
Credit histories chipped and pinned on every home.

A communication satellite flies,
Where we expected Dan Dare.
Leisure time is loaded with stress,
Fast food single parent families dashing every where.

The future has arrived,
It brought wrinkles and old age.
Muddied the dreams we cherished,
Fudged the present and made itself harder to gauge.
