The Years of Our Lives
At our life's end, what will the question be?
Will it be, "What's in your wallet?"
Or will it be, "What in your story?"
By a most reliable source, the Bible,
We are told that 'We spend our years
as a tale that is told".* In a movie,
the words of one actor to another were,
"There's no normal life. There's just life".
So, the story is unfolded as we live our lives.
It matters not whether in complexity or simplicity.
Whether there's normality, neutrality, or triviality,
at our life's end, what tale will be told of you and me?
