All In All

All In all
I’ve loved my life
The highs and lows 
The joy the strife
The magic moments
Kids and laughs
Deaths and traumas
Financial baths
Friends and foes
That came and went
Pleasure / pain
Equally lent
Warm Summer days
Cold Winter nights
Clear night stars
And harbour lights
Hot August sun
September snow
December gales
July’s soft blow
Love gained and lost
Oft wounded pride
Truths expounded
Sins untried
Through thick and thin
I’ve had a ball
A brilliant earth time
All in all
