Ive Lived

I've lived
I've loved
Sometimes failed 
Had success
Been at the top of the world
And in deep dark valleys

I've experienced
Joy
Laughter
Sadness and tears
Been very brave
And scared to death

I've felt good
And sometimes terrible
I've been nice
Rotten at times
I've been proud
And ashamed more than once

I've done more good
Than bad
Collected loves and friends
Along the way
I've had happy days
And some quite sad

Overall it's been a grand journey
With few regrets
And when it's time for me to go
I hope that I've left
A bright path 
For you to follow
