My thanks to those around me

My thanks to those around me

Knowing as the decades passed the eventuality was today
What is and whether I could have changed it , it’s rather too late now to say
Still, I’ve done some things I wanted, with others still left to do
Too late you say, and yes, too late; well, certainly from my point of view

I strived, I served and succeeded; for that I am content
My thanks to those around me who helped to a great extent

In the scheme of things my life is of no import
No Darwin, Turner or Cook
But alas such folk are a rarity and for none of them have I been mistook

So, I depart with no guilty conscience and mild satisfaction that I’ve done my bit
Together, I hope with a sense of humour and a degree of playfulness and Wit
Goodbye my friends, Goodbye
