Are We Nearly There Yet
Remember when your kids were young
And you went out in the car.
They had that famous battle cry
before you’d gone too far.
“Are we nearly there yet?”
I think they had a timer
set up inside their head.
And every 15 minutes
this is what they said.
“Are we nearly there yet?”
You try to keep them all amused
by playing different games.
But after every game you play
the questions still the same.
“Are we nearly there yet?”
Those feelings of impatience
don’t stop as we grow old.
When we feel those stresses building
the same question will unfold.
“Am I nearly there yet?”
There is light at the end of the tunnel
we say to give us strength.
The only thing we don’t know
is what’s the tunnels length
“Am I nearly there yet?”
But as each journey finishes
and we say yes that’s me there.
another one is starting
with the same question for to bear.
“Am I nearly yet?”
