About My Life

About my life, the places I have been.

About my life, things I have done and

things I have failed to do.

About my life, pluses and minuses,

gains and losses over time.

About my life, once I was young;

I have grown old and grow older

each passing day.

About my life, there is no turning back,

that which was once is now no more.

About my life, sadness and grief, an indelible

scar on the heart and soul.

About my life, love and happiness, brief and

fleeting.

About my life, so much time yet not enough.

About my life, please and thank you never

seemed adequate.

About my life, what’s done is done, and the

doing cannot be undone.

About my life, bantam specks of dust

drifting randomly across a sunbeam,

then gone.
