Here for the Journey
Stop Putting it Off
It's time to do that little job I've put off for so long
I'm thinking of excuses but I know I must be strong
The fridge and freezer both are full so I don't need to shop
The kitchen floor can wait although I know it needs a mop
The boxes lie in wait for me I ignore them going through
I tell myself I don't have time although its overdue
The garden looks so lovely now - so good to sit and be
So why can't I just do the same with my conservatory
I'll tell you why (not an excuse) just so you understand
The difficulty in this job that has so long been planned
I know inside the boxes will be mostly things to go
The better things to charity but mostly things to throw
Some memories of my childhood I may still choose to keep
And as I go on rooting through I may even start to weep
But these really aren't MY memories although I hold them still
I brought them home to sort them out so sort them out I will
It's sad that over 80 years of life is thus reduced
To boxes in a conservatory that haven't any use
But today's the day I reconcile the past is in the past
And restore my lovely garden room and use the space at last
I hope.............
