The End of TIme

The End of Time

So hold me till I break

I’m made of sterner stuff

The universe will crumble first

Before it gets to rough

You have the best of hearts, love

When intentions mean it all

But watch your step when walking

Pride goeth before the fall

Children often don’t think

And taunt before they listen

But you and I will laugh till dawn

As they feed their own ambition

What matters at the end of time?

Who waits when daylight breaks?

The moon will only laugh at them

Who really knows the price, the stakes?

Solution

One step ahead and two behind

Getting the pacing just right

If the world falls away could we walk hand in hand?

And finally step into the light?

Does it matter who is in the front now?

Does it matter who brings up the rear?

If one of us follows the other,

We will end up together, my dear.

My solution in the end is simple,

We stop this running around.

Find a spot that we can settle down now,

And we will have nothing to fear.

Braggart

Haranguing tongues wag everyday

Harpies hardly stop nagging

It’s a cross between lying and bragging

To assume yours is the only way

New things happen everyday

Wouldn’t want to be the one lagging

Who set new tongues to wagging

It’s better to stay out of the fray

Step to the beat of a different drum

Be careful in all that you say

Eventually the good things will come
