Thinking Back

Wondering aloud in her mind
what hath I done with all the
time?  
Ere even garnered dime all spent
in disregard of winter's gloom
a mental marathon it would be
to account for contents of that
inventory
Checking over the 55 years a
arduous task 
one best done with
an ominous eye for many bleak
errors may present
Though one hopes that
balance favors the good
Only an by inward  observant eye  
And a servant in bringing to peace that all  
done or past was of  some value 
to all or none.
