Life is just a journey

With age I’ve grown tired,

weary but not insane.

My bones are rather achy,

but my heart is too humane.

At night my vision is blurry,

with pills I kill my pain.

 

My hearing aid does help,

for sound to reach my brain.

But offensive words do fall,

in ear just like the rain.

It’s true I am short on temper,

but calm I do remain.

 

In need of care and kindness,

My soul I must retain.

My life has reached it’s twilight,

just like a passing train.

My deeds surpass my age,

There is no more to gain.

 

Life is just a journey,

And days on this terrain.

No one should fear death,

a pass to the next domain.

To all I bid farewell,

for soon we’ll meet again.
