Each morning when I open
my eyes,
I would think to
myself and say.
I, not events have
the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can choose which it
shall be, because I live my life with much sway.
Since yesterday is
dead, and tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet.
I can truly say,
I lived a long time,
here on this land
With its beauty and despair
that go hand in hand.
I learned a lot,
while I watched the hourglass tip its sand.
The highest wisdom
that I shall own, freedom and life are earned by those alone.
I can laugh and say I
still haven’t grown.
Even if it is a time
to moan,
I can look towards
the sky as the raindrops mix with the tears I cry.
Tears of joy I may
imply.
As James Thurber once
said,
“All men should
strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, to and why”
There were times when
I did not pray
And I simply said, “I
could not stay”.
Now God has brought
me to his garden to play.
So, the end is near.
I take my final bow,
and face my final curtain.
To my family and
friends,
I’ll state my case of
which I am certain.
I will only say this
once, so listen up I’ll surely be clear.
I lived a life that
was completely full; I’ve travelled each and every highway,
And more, much more
than this,
I did it MY WAY…
