It's Not Over Yet

Still contemplate what I should be;
My mind plays tricks I cannot see.
Old age has overtaken me.

No time to feel its worn embrace;
Must leave my mark but life's a race.
The years are etched upon my face.

Remembering as years accrue;
I've lived my life without a clue.
Death comes so soon to take his due.

Death is our fate but while I wait,
I will create; It's not too late.
I've still not reached my 'best by' date.

Thanks. I just returned to soup from a long absence. I've continued to write, just haven't posted. Nice to check in once in a while.
