Throwback Friday, It Was Time To Leave

Cousin Lynn and Robin with Mungo and Kelly

Cousin Maureen and doggies Z-Z and Co-Co

Cousin Penny, and then Dave, Penny, and Ivor

Here I am on a Jet Plane, somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. Therefore todayā€™s Throwback Friday poem is a very appropriate finale piece, to coincide with my amazing adventures in Canada over the past 21 days.

It Was Time To Leave (Revised)

.

Itā€™s time to tidy up my mess
Clean up the room and get dressed
Itā€™s time to pack my suitcase
Fill the travel bag and vacate this place
Itā€™s time to put on my famous rocker shoes
And walk away from this dream come true
Itā€™s time to say heartfelt goodbyes
To these wonderful Canadian guys
Itā€™s time for final hugs and kisses
Sad farewells and best wishes
Itā€™s time for my usual emotional tears
Separate myself from these every day cheers
Itā€™s time to flyaway from a land of berries and fairies
Leave this magical world of faraway families
Itā€™s time to say a million thank youā€™s
For making my stay a Really Real great do
Itā€™s time for me to travel back home
With glorious memories of this magical Astrodome

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.
