Pam Deremer Poet I do not know?

A Life Well Spent

Looking back upon my years,
some thoughts bring laughter...some thoughts bring tears.
I've made mistakes...I can not lie...
the question that I ask myself is why?
What made me choose to do or not,
the answers for years I've often sought.
I place my life upon a scale...
the tears collected in a pail.
Which weighs the most...the good or bad...
did I enjoy the life I had?
I wonder this...I wonder that,
and of course the " What If's" come to bat.
When all is said...and all is done,
I need to start having a lot more fun!
                                                            P.R. Deremer
