Alpha To Omega

Alpha to Omega

Here I am in this abyss
waiting while I dream of this
I'm going to Vegas Vegas
as soon as I finally leave this place
but I must leave a trace

My brief sojourn from my mothers milk
then I'll have time to grow up 
and deal with the ilk
of good times and bad
learning to speak to be happy and sad
later a teen and a woman
then marriage with child
 to further their aims
to grow old gracefully and pick up my cane and take a plane
I'm going to Vegas, Vegas
and place my bet
before I finally leave this place

This one is very creative, Ralph. I have been through Vegas a few times and don't understand the attraction (though I never got to see a show, that is what I want to do there!!)

I was hoping this was fiction, but I'm not sure after reading other folks comments? Either way a profound read, and if it is true, then I wish you the best of luck in Vegas! Mick

Ralph, I believe we all do leave some type of imprint behind. Love the tempo of this poem as it takes us from birth to old age. Place a bet for me, Ralph. This is awesome! Hugs, Carolyn
