A poem by Paul O'Mahony - recorded specially for the community of audio lovers known as #AudioMo on 4th June 2018
Growing
You’re never too old to waste your life
To fritter away an hour a day
and spend the coins of change
No way you lose that fear of the living
Spend your time awaiting, waiting to be seen
and you see it all slip by
You’re never beyond being sorry for me
Hold back, hang in, stay put
as your life goes down the drain.
