THE TIME TRAVELLER
Written by the late Sir Harry Secombe
I want the mornings to last longer
and the twilight to linger
I want to clutch the present to my bosom
and never let it go
i resent the tyranny of the clock in the hall
nagging me to get on with the day
i am a time traveller
But a traveller who would rather walk than fly,
and yet:
There is a lot to be said for growing old
The major battles in life are over
Though minor skirmishes may still occur
There is an armistice of the heart
A truce with passion
Compromise becomes preferable to conflict
and old animosities blur with time
There is still one last hurdle to cross
and the joy of your life measures your
reluctance to approach it
But if you have lived your life with love
there will be nothing to fear
Because a warm welcome will await you
On the other side.
