Milestones
If life is one long journey,
There are milestones on the way,
From birthdays and bar mitzvahs
To a graduation day.
A wedding and a baby’s birth
(Or two or three or four),
A moving day or brand-new job
Are other ways to score.
A prize, award or write-up
Of accomplishments will count
When milestones are considered;
There’s no average amount.
But when we look back on the lives
That we have lived or made,
The milestones are the memories
That somehow never fade.
