Three score years and ten!
The average age allotted men
I've almost gotten to sixty years
What lies ahead for me?
How far have I travelled now?
How long do I have left to live?
Upon this simple scale I look
Wonder at these blessings given me
In truth; I guess I must reconcile
That none of us are immortal...
So how long upon this earth I ask?
Is the lifespan of any mere mortal?
I've been through so many years
When times were sad its true
But now I must look ahead
Now I must understand
How important it is to simply "be"
And enjoy whatever time is left to me
There is no time to be wasted
This one life is all I have
No time for procrastination
Let go of past hurts
Allow the dust to settle dear
Forgive those who offered hurt
Instead of compatibility
Look forward to these golden years
Accept what peace is offered me
Take the hand of friendship love
Don't waste another minute dear
Because this moment is all there is...
