As I Go

A sad day, I might say

one day, but not this day

for I am still here in my

place to claim. Fortunate,

I would certainly say.

One day, surely not

far from here given my

advancing age, I shall

depart the scene I know,

nevermore able to leave

footprints in the snow.

Till then, I shall

cherish leaving a

trail behind me as I go.

Today, one more step

from where I have been

forward into the inevitable

Great Unknown.
