I Stand As Splendid Witness
Wading through all
the long lost years
there's no time left
on my clock for tears.
As I climb this ladder
of my very life
I've come full circle
from love through strife.
Grasping at straws
I can no longer reach
beyond comprehension
this life I did breach.
Though I'll admit my
brightest dreams did take root
as life slows to a crawl
I offer this salute.
My inventory's complete
this conscience is clear
I've made all amend's
there is nothing to fear.
I've loved and been loved
and cashed in all I owe,
when my time comes
it will be in peace I shall go.
