Wake up, wake up
no time to wait
so much to do, if it’s not too late.
Where’s your keys, where’s your car
your own two feet can’t take you too far
Wake up, wake up
no time to waste
you’re almost thirty, have to find a mate.
Gotta marry, gotta make the grade
So many to love, lest love degrade.
Wake up, wake up
no time to consider, too much’s at stake
A few more tumbles, a couple of kids to make.
You must raise them to be just like you
talking shirts and super glue
Wake up, wake up,
you’re almost dead
pass on your wisdom from all the books you’ve read
You must be a teacher, a mentor, to lead,
Pass on your life, it’s your life they need.
Wake up, wake up,
now it truly is too late
you’re gone now, it’s over, but for curiosities sake –
Were you happy? Were you merry? Did you smile enough?
Did you make a life out of life, or was it just filled with…stuff?
for curiosities sake.. yes.. I was happy. merry as well. I didn’t smile enough although. I should have. It was a life.. full .. complex.. incomplete in some ways but .. as I am still living .. perhaps it will find completion in the years to come.
It was not just filled with stuff.. not by any means!
