An Existing Half

I thought I was born
a perfect all, 
With many things at
my beck and call. 
Days went by and I
became me
I thought it was all
I wanted to be.
I turned forty and
looked back
To see the other
half I still lack.
My whole life has
been a half, 
Of an all I feel not
enough.
As I age and
approach my timely
end,
The other half, my
Lord prepares to
send.
