Belated Lessons
.
Although really belatedly,
much could still be learned
from slowly growing older
about how one could have
lived youthful, vibrant life
in a more purposeful way.
And from lingering illness
and dying itself, profound
lessons on health and living;
only they're much too late
for the frantic, final learning
of the sick and the dying.
