It's Just Another Trip

We make many mistakes travelling through life

-things we never take time to think through

In a moment of madness, oft triggered by strife..

But in living life that’s what we do

In our twenties we’re young, for the most part quite dumb

‘cos there’s plenty of time to get real

All the baby stuff’s gone but grown up’s yet to come

When we’re young, having fun’s the big deal

Then one day we wake up and the thirties are here

-and we’re in these relationship things 

Looking up suddenly all the fun’s disappeared

-and we're in stuff reality brings 

Then along come our forties and it's not so bad..

-sort of settled and kids growing too

And we still can remember those fun days we had

with our friends back in the day we knew

In our fifties we’ve got all this time on our hands

all the kids have finally left the nest

But it’s just temporary – along come the grands

-say farewell to that well deserved rest.

In the sizzling sixties we’ve come to the peak

We’ve gone past all the worries and fear!

Just keep warm, take the meds and endure the odd creak

-cos’ it’s really all downhill from here!.
