Walking Out of Life's Mist

When we come into this world we just never know what lies ahead
From toddlers to infants to teenagers, life unreels our threads

Some find their way in life and move onto better things
Others take a different path and internally their heart never sings

The fortunate grow old, with friends and families their life's prize
But so many are separated by their life, internal songs become internal cries

When we come into this world, it's our opportunity to exist
Sometimes we have to help each other, by walking out of life's mist

Those who are surrounded by friends and family in their old age are the fortunate ones, James. Too often seniors live their last days in loneliness. Thanks for reminding us that it's time to walk out of "life's mist" and offer them our support. Love, Carolyn
