Do It Again

A life, years before, had begun, Now … nearly over and done Down a lane Just to obtain Life’s irrepressible lesson. ‘T is not what we have possessed That left us so wonderfully blessed Nor was it beauty, Nor sense of duty But how our life’s been assessed. ‘T was treatment of mankind and kin … The love we expressed from within To those we met, And without regret Would happily do it again.

It would be nice, Robert, if, when we look back at the wake of our lives, not to see any "ills" bobbing around in it. I'm glad you like it - and thank you for your commentary. Jack C
