Journey Into Self

"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson and made me stronger." ~Constance La France. I think I am going out of style-- Outdated and outworn, Life outran me; But I had my days in the sun, I had my fun. It's time to lay back and relax and reminisce about the days gone by. I had the highest aspirations, I had the sturdiest hopes and I did the very best I knew how. I had my ups and downs, Maybe a few more misses and falls then I now care to recall, I did not build any Rome Nor ever aspired for a scepter or a throne, Chasing ideals, weaving dreams, Wooing fame and fortune was just not me. I was one of the flock, Beset with doubts and fears I went with the flow. I broke hearts some — Didn't mend many, I wronged some — Didn't amend any. No matter how often I now turn back and look, I see that I lived life the way it was laid out for me. I did my deeds without many applause or rewards received I fulfilled my lease and now retreat in peace!
