After age has worn us down
and time has bumped and bruised us,
one thing that’s left is wisdom.
With which we may discern,
right from wrong.
With the past laid out before us,
what cycles were worth breaking,
and did we break them?
What lessons were worth learning
and did we learn them?
Which connections were worth keeping
and did we keep them?
With time laid out before one
was the life you lived
a good one?
