Old Words but as long as someone remembers, someone lives, written with "motherlikenoother".

Dave


I'm a little man
In a little room
Trying to count the score
No, no monk in deep thoughts
I'm just trying to like the room
My worry is they'll find me
A little old man with nothing
A little old man snuffling
A little old man on poverty
And when they finished mocking
They put me in a stocking
And deliver me to Gas
Bill unpaid
Gas mislaid
Only a geezer for stuffing

i am old
my pride has not weathered my life and is now nonexistant
these four walls are all that is left of my home
there is nothing more to dream and wisdom has twisted its knife in my heart
the numbness has worn off and the liquor only adds to the culmination
i reap what i have sown
my choices are spent like the strength i no longer own
an easy target for callous youth, even so i was once like you
so before you spit upon me in all my foolish disarray
remember this, in judgements of death there is a penance we all have to pay

a sad write Dave
But it's true,
"but as long as someone remembers, someone lives"

And most everyone who has ever lived has touched SOMEONE enough, to be remembered, if only for another generation. Some, the really infamously bad or great and wonderful ones, are remebered forever.

Thanks Midnight.

For a lot of reasons especially his love of children I want to remember.

He was a Theatre Manager at Newcastle coming back in a car when he crashed loosing his wife and daughter.

I still remember sitting in the one room, but above all I remember for the periods, when I took a break fromt he turnstiles at Battersea Fun Fair and listened to him and others.

Maybe that is why I now look at people differently.

I owe him and them.

I would love to do a stage show called "Funfair" on the characters.

regards

Dave

A profound write, dear Dave.

The above sentence reminds me of what I said to a friend who never wants to go home because it makes her feel lonely. I said try to "feel the embrace of your home".

And the good memories help too...

Love, Margherita
