Leisure by me

Like many people I've always like Leisure by William Henry Davies, it's rhythm so I thought I'd have a go at my own version. I sincerely doubt it's winner but it was fun to put my twist on it.


What is this life, if you who care
Make no time to say or share

No words to soothe or console
No time to lift heart and soul

No hugs or smiles to warm the heart
No touching gestures to impart

No time to utter words so felt
with work and play at full pelt

no time to speak of love or joy
as life moves on we must deploy

to leave behind all outward sign
of what’s contained in heart and mind

a poor life this is if you who care
make no time to say and share.
