'I did it my way'... he confessed in song; and, 'when I face the final curtain'... he went on. Those words, so relevant and strong, present a blueprint of how life should be. Our chosen goals should be a special find that backs the values guarded by the heart. With talents offered, shaped by hand and mind; our soul will be at rest when we depart. Not led by circumstances at the time, inspired by fads or laws that come and go; to 'do it my way'... retrogress or climb ... the effort keeps our final peace aglow. 'I did it my way'... how those words will lift us past the 'final curtain' as we drift.
