What I have gained in life I have
managed to lose, trade or give away.
So, that must be the meaning of
it all—life is one ongoing exchange.
I have held the precious, but it was
never mine to keep. I have tossed
the worthless onto times unrelenting
heap. I have given both equal weight.
So then today in my old age, I bargain
my time with pictures and words I have
held in reserve. And you, my friend,
are among the brave who has traveled
with me through it all such a long, long
way.
Even time shall never take that away.
I shall fondly remember until the last
of days.
