Fourscore and Three

FOURSCORE AND THREE By Leonard Kleeman As I approach fourscore and three I wonder how it would really be If I could go back in time And make that “Road Not Taken” mine. If I could just take a different road Would I be me or of a different mode? Would I still be here or have died Regardless of how hard I tried? Would my friends be the same Or of a different name? Would I be rich or very poor And never see the year fourscore? But the road not taken as writ by Frost Makes all those questions and answers lost For I am just me as you can see And what really matters for fourscore and three Is who I am and what was meant to be.
