Done

When youth was ripe and strong And accomplishment was infantile Future was but an un-walked pathway Stretching the distance to today. Events and persons still unknown Would fill history yet to be made Written in tears of joy and tragedy Propelled by footsteps seeking the undiscovered. Steep slopes of the unattained Warm valleys of the accomplished Appeared on the pages of Life As Youth was absorbed by maturity. Fine-tuning of accumulated lessons Tempered and became wisdom Prejudices revealed their baselessness The realization of wasted time displayed its' folly. Sunset is neigh Legacies become epitaphs Needs become non-existent. Age introduces … eternity.
