I Am Who I Am

I sit here reminiscing hoping friends will all agree. That whoever else I coulda been, I ended up as me! I’m retired now, in decent shape. I hope that’s how things stay. I know that’s wishful thinking though cause I’ve seen my better day! I have so many wistful memories of the years that’s passed me by. I can’t remember everything, but, I sure am gonna try! Most years were quite productive. But, there were times that wasn’t true! Those times I wish I could erase! Of course, that’s something I can’t do! I’ve analyzed the roads I’ve traveled. Considering where I am right now, I know I'm at this point in time but, I’m still not certain how! Consequently, I'm the person that I am. That is who I am today. I’m happy how my life is now, so, I hope that’s how things stay! Accept me as you find me. That’s all I’ve got to say! “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it” and things will be okay! That’s a brief synopsis of how it is I'm me! So good, bad, or indifferent that’s the way it’s gotta be!
