1441

What do you want to be?

How about a gap year before I face

The prospect of retirement by the sea,

When I'll have time to take a break to ask

What it is I really want to be?

After all for sixty of those years

I've studied, worked and striven for the sake

Of others who've my best interests at heart

Pointing to the road that I should take

But while I have enjoyed the way I've come

I've never really chosen what I'd do

The day-to-day simply relied upon

Necessity - the need to get us through.

            Perhaps at last I'll take a moment which

            Will bring a chance to really scratch the itch.
