Scarred

Thinking fondly of the past

Memories that will forever last

Wondering where the time has gone

Waiting for a new exciting dawn

 

Seems like it was just yesterday

When life was only fun and play

No more innocence and open mind

Left all my youthful ideals behind

 

The many years of working hard

Left soul and mind a little scarred

Yesterday’s lofty happy dreams

Are just a shell now, or so it seems

 

I did not make the world a better place

When gone will nary leave a trace

Should not the purpose of my being here

To be sent off one day with praise and cheer

 

I guess for the rest of my remaining days

The choice should be to mend my ways

Reach out to others, be a better man

And do as much good as I possibly can

 

It might not be much, but at least I tried

To live a life with purpose and pride

And maybe, just maybe there could be a trace

That I did leave this world a little better place
