Am I too old? <br />Is it too late? <br />Have I waited too long, <br />To contemplate my fate? <br />Have I too many memories... <br />And not enough time? <br />Is there too much of 'me' <br />Behind the walls of limitation, <br />I find myself confined. <br />Is there too much I am trying to comprehend? <br />Instead of realizing, <br />I am doing just fine within! <br />And would do even better... <br />Discovering new adventures. <br />Who am I to censor, <br />The arrival of gloomy weather? <br />If I decided to leave old thoughts... <br />I choose to think, <br />Left behind! <br />And besides... <br />I do get a kick sometimes, <br />Unwinding myself <br />From the trappings I place, <br />Inside my own mind!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
