Life's Never Ending Span.

Goldfinch60



The road that I walk is always ahead,

Along which its path I still gaily tread,

I know the road ahead is not too long,

Shorter than the path I have walked along.

 

Each step I take brings me to a new place,

Mainly to that place so full of fine grace,

Sometimes to where sadness is there in wait,

But that part of life is part of my fate.

 

Looking back along my long road of life,

It had more happiness than any strife,

I’ve been so lucky in the life I lead,

I feel that in all that time I’ve been freed.

 

I look at myself as a lucky man,

Enjoying my life’s never ending span.

              Here’s a path worthy of emulating. The span being ever shorter on one end counterbalanced by the other, well lived all along its breadth and length.

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you for your understanding words arqios, much appreciated.
