A Life Well Spent
A day long ago
Life was free and easy
Life was a whimsical carefree bliss
To breathe gentle and uninhibiting breezes
To feel emotionless
When painless laughter was to be had
When simplicity came easily
I was a child.
Together we saw orchards of sweetly ripen grapes
And orange suns sinking into the oceans blue green wake
Though old and grey
We both may be
The years are just a notch in time
Of the whole world this may be true
But please my friend
As I pass on
Do justice to the life I once led
Keep alive in your heart
The memories of a life well spent.
