A Life Lesson

As a young lady, I raced all around From one goal to another I was bound Thinking that time would cooperate Give me many years to achieve my fate. Wanted to climb high the ladder of life Be successful at work, perhaps a wife No time to slow down, I hurried ahead Had so much to do before I was dead! I’ve lived thru many brushes with death Realized that life comes with every breath I’ve learned to slow down, treasure every one With no regrets when the last breath is done. Tho old, and walk funny, I will endure Upright and functional, you can be sure!
