20,000 Days

20,000 Days Thinking of my life 20,000 days behind me Days of challenges and thrills Love and battles completed with valor So many experiences I had So many more I wanted to do but never got around to There were things I should have said Others I regretted the second they flew from mouth Did I do everything I could in those 20,000 days? There was wasted time I know Feelings that died inside me without a whimper Others released without abandon to be lost in reality I am not sure how many days I have left A mere seven or another 20,000 to look forward to My body frails with every passing second The energy I had in now just a fading memory Will I have the time to do what I never got done? May I say what I should have or taken back my mistakes I have no choice how long I will last in this body Maybe 20,000 days is just enough for a mortal human 20,001 may be too much 19,999 may be one to few for a life to matter It is all up to the immortals Fates to decide But, all in all I have led a good life so let the Fates come I will go with no regrets and a smile on my face That will be my choice
