These Old Legs!
These old legs have served me well,
they’ve carried me far from where I’ve dwelled.
Rain or shine it matters not.
They’ll keep on going until they stop.
I have been half way round this world of ours,
documenting people, mountains, churches and towers.
There is so much more I want to see,
but so few remaining hours to be.
I have never been to Asia, Greece or Taiwan.
I would like to go and tie one on.
I hope there is time to take these quests,
but I am slowing down and I need to rest.
It’s been a real pleasure to document my life.
I have had good fortune and had lots of strife.
I have seen a lot of things that I did not like,
but most of it has been so right.
I hope my work can influence you,
to show you where we are going to.
I come from a time so long ago;
the change is what I want to show.
It is now up to you to make the decision:
if you like where we are at, and all the derision
being said by politicians
to widen the gap and make more divisions.
There are no more borders to separate.
It’s just that we are taught to hate.
If it is not like us, it can’t be great.
But love is the answer that will seal our fate.
These old legs have served me well,
they’ve carried me far from where I’ve dwelled.
Rain or shine it matters not.
They’ll keep on going until they stop.
