His life is drawing to its close. <br />He has lived past three score and ten <br /> and has no reason to suppose <br />That he should know the how and when. <br />He is not ready yet to go <br /> his life is full of interest <br />Although his pace of life is slow <br /> he has retained his youthful zest. <br />Now often plagued by aches and pains, <br />accepts them philosophically. <br /> Its very seldom he complains, <br />he knows there is no remedy <br />for his ailments. He is quite sure <br />death will provide a lasting cure. <br /> <br />8-May-08 <br /> <br />http: //blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/borrowed-time-4/
