A Life-Time

A life Time How long is a lifetime it cannot be measured in years my brother died young yet left behind five children and I was born a weakling – he will never grow old doctors said- weak heart and pacemaker, I’m kept alive by modern medical science and have lived to get old. I know the end can strike anytime anywhere, but I will not think about it. However, long my life- time it has been short as I leave nothing behind to be remembered for. “As my father said”, a made up lie, no one will have to make up stories about me
