Life is just a journey

With age I’ve grown tired, weary but not insane. My bones are rather achy, but my heart is too humane. At night my vision is blurry, with pills I kill my pain. My hearing aid does help, for sound to reach my brain. But offensive words do fall, in ear just like the rain. It’s true I am short on temper, but calm I do remain. In need of care and kindness, My soul I must retain. My life has reached it’s twilight, just like a passing train. My deeds surpass my age, There is no more to gain. Life is just a journey, And days on this terrain. No one should fear death, a pass to the next domain. To all I bid farewell, for soon we’ll meet again.

Hello Darlene, Yes you are right. At the end the only true value we gain is our good deeds. They will come back to save us in this life or in the next. Thank you my friend. Saleh
