Barry Freeman Poet Free verse

Time Gentlemen

Never believing that I was deceiving myself
(I guess it must have been a dream)
That I could ever be the man I thought I’d be
And not the man I am today.

Living and loving
With life ever leaving me
Ever leading me on
Through life.
I’d have taken time to be someone
But that time is gone,
And I am left here, now, alone,
With nought to carve upon my stone.

L Milton Hankins May 25, 2021 at 8:44 AM Such a sad poem, Barry, but very well-written and evoking much meaning in the mind of your readers. When we come to the place where I am in life (and perhaps you, too) we think about what we will leave behind of moral and spiritual value.
