Paula Swanson Poet Rhyme

I Lie In the Bed I Made

A saint in life you have hardly been,
so don't go foraging through my sins.
There are worse things I could have done.
There are a few, I should have shunned.
Yet, I have stared my skeletons in the eye.
Came through it with my head held high.
Regrets?  Of course, I have a few.
But nothing that has dimmed the view,
of the life that I have led,
I am at peace, upon my bed.
