Back Side Of Life

Time it will tell 

It almost has

All the words left make a cursive sound

What was to be has been and has been gone

Now here awaiting the darkest of the dawns 


On the back side of life it’s all there to be seen 

the good, bad and ugly, the course in-between 

Where we all go if we’re lucky my friend 

You get it in the end 


Do regrets hurt as much as the back 

who carried the load stacked upon stacked?

Was it all for not to do the right things?

All for the  bounty this saddest of the springs 


On the back side of life it’s all there to be seen 

the good, bad and ugly, the course in-between 

Where we all go if we’re lucky my friend 

You get it in the end 


Wipe away all those regrets (from the back side of life)

Wipe away whatever’s left (on the back side of life)

Wipe away those dreams that never made a daylight sound

Wipe away the what ifs, why fors and what the heck nows 


Time it will tell 

It surely will

Time won’t keep your secrets it’s surely to spill 

on the backside of life bent over, on your way down

In the end time sticks it to you without making a sound


On the back side of life it’s all there to be seen 

the good, bad and ugly, the course in-between 

Where we all go if we’re lucky my friend 

You get it in the end 

You get it in the end

Here’s to us all getting it right in the end

Behind The Song...

Back Side Of Life

In recent years I have been surrounded by and often responsible for the care of many aging family members. It is a very hard thing to watch as those who have always cared for you shrink away. It is a privilege to be able to care for them but it takes a lot out of me.
