Fewer Days

My days are numbered
I sense scant few
no count on precisely
but know that its true.

I might make some changes
if only I knew
though change is unlikely
not having a clue.

Looking out over yonder
past some fog in my brain
no foretelling the future
as the days they do wane.

Passing thoughts
.......introspection
not a fatalist view
just a self realization
the days remaining are few!

Mark, you put this very well. Our time to live is quite short indeed. Some of us are lucky to be able to live well. I suspect you are one of the lucky ones!! Smiles!!

My luck is a simple daily acknowledgement of every day being on top of the green, is a good day! Thanks Duke!

introspection and self realization are important anytime, for none of us know the days remaining. Kind of sombering, isn't it? have a pleasant evening, Sara
