I often think of this world I’m in, <br />The life I’ve led, the life I’ll lead, <br />How I’ve lived, and where I’ve been, <br />What lies ahead and the seeds I’ll spread, <br /> <br />But one thing I know, and that’s for sure, <br />Successes I’ve had, mistakes I’ve made, <br />You can’t change the past, in life’s great tour, <br />Only the future, by the past that’s laid, <br /> <br />But most importantly, before life fades, <br />As life moves on, for others to see, <br />To try and share mistakes that were made, <br />So others may benefit so their life can be, <br /> <br />A wonderful experience, for all to share, <br />For when one ‘s left and the body is cold, <br />The memories you leave, for all that care, <br />The life you had, and the life that’s told.<br /><br />B.J.
