standing at the crossroads <br />what i've been, what i've done, <br />where i've won, where i've lost <br />staring at myself and my life <br />stark naked in the mirror <br /> <br />questions <br /> <br />what really matters the most to me? <br />at 57 i dont have as much time left, <br />as much time to waste as i've had <br />have i done or said anything <br />of lasting value? <br />have i done more good than bad? <br />(and i've done both!) <br /> <br />it's too easy to get trapped <br />in a low income job, <br />barely surviving week to week, <br />often day to day <br />so what do i do to get out? <br /> <br />what do i want to be remembered for? <br />does it matter? <br />it does to me! <br /> <br />i want the time i have left to be <br />spent on change <br />a change in me how i view the world, <br />and what i do to make the world <br />a better place <br /> <br />i want to be a better man. <br />i want to be a better human being. <br /> <br />i want to live in a way that's <br />both socially and ecologically <br />affirmative to be involved <br />in the sanctity of life. <br /> <br />i want change <br />and in the wanting <br />lies the beginning!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hard-questions-change/
