Lifes Last Exit
Life’s Last Exit
By: Tom Wright
7/10/2006
A Doctor’s slap, and then my screams
Were bellowed at my first breath.
Since then I’ve traveled a road of dreams
Toward the exit ramp marked death;
But betwixt the two I chanced to travel
Both crooked beltway and the straight;
Seeming at times my life would unravel
As I searched for the exit at Heavens Gate;
As now my journeys end is nearing
I mirror backward to count life’s cost.
The distant sounds I hear of cheering
For a sheep is found that once was lost.
