Legendary

people may not recall
how regal it was
to grace the life you once had
the success and happiness
that enveloped your pain and sorrow

however you remember 
those things you once were
the only thing they can see now
is what's lacking and the handicap you have

and when the day ends
up around the corner 
you sit in deep thought
time has pass you by
and yet with a smile - remembering the glory - saying, those were the days.

A nostalgic write. One does not pretend to know the depth of sadness but I do appreciate the glimmer of cheer that shines toward the end of this delicate and sensitive piece. Hope you'll write once again, kabayan. I'm quite enjoying it here. Kim :)
