TIME WARP...

poem by: Frank Hornby .
Written on Sep 30, 2017

"I'm stuck in a time warp, and still I'm just twelve years old,
once again I'm playing football, my memories are 24 carat gold.
My mind turns back the decades, as Father Time moves on,
but it's me running onto that through ball.... in the form of my young grandson.
As I watch Our Joe play football, it's me in the strikers role,
yes, it's me twisting, and turning, as I score another wonder goal!
I love being stuck in a time warp, my memories I will always behold,
and as long as I watch Our Joe play football, I will forever be twelve years old."

Thanks Cecilia....I had so many good times as a lad....sprinkled with a few, not so good......but playing football was my life!...and watching my little grandson play (he's not so little now)....made me wish for my young days....that's all I can do now is close my eyes, and drift back......
