Before the after
Before the after
I used to be bald
but now I'm shorn
like being dead
not being unborn
I used to be young
but now I'm not old
like being informed
not being untold
I used to be slight
but now I'm substantial
like being skint
then becoming financial. ........................

Answer to a Prayer
I was kind of hoping,
That you would come along,
Like the answer to a prayer,
And the music to a song.
Like the kind of thing that happens,
At a special place and time,
That will change our lives forever,
Like a fantasy of mine.
The fantasy was there before,
I ever knew your name,
And now that I have found you,
We will never be the same.
So, pardon, if I look at you,
Forgive me ...
