I’m not getting older
Not even getting slow
Just as Hard as Ever
Thought I’d let you know
Life has been so good to me
I love to give it back
Well apart from the vasectomy
I’m on the general track

My house is open to the world
Refugees the lot
I don’t complain (not half) just pay the bills
So… you might think I’m a clot
I live in hope for one day soon
To reap the seeds I sow
But standing at this crossroads
Still have some way to go

I don’t claim to save the world
Me a Veteran? Don’t make me laugh
Life is here for living
Won’t pretend I’m Upper Class
I’m just a bloke with broken tools
Who still can use a hammer
Been knocked down a time or two
To me… that’s not a drama….


Always someone else’s need
Makes my life seem a breeze
Heading for the “Hot Spots”
Rather burn than have to freeze
I will lend a helping hand
Give “my time” with a smile
So if my pleasure you can share
That makes my life worthwhile

you are awfully compassionate, kind, considerate....

just look at what you've done with your life
