There Will Be Time. A poem by Tony McCarthy

In the summer of life
There will be time
To shine like the sun
Share our energy
Create new bonds
Rejoice in success
Living life to the full.

In the autumn of life
There will be time
To reap labour’s fruits
Seek fresh horizons
Scale new heights
Enjoy the young ones
At a slower pace

In the winter of life
There will be time
To freeze the past
Relive joys
Regret battles needlessly fought
Ponder missed opportunities
Visions turned dreams
