When I Am Old

When I am old, I hope to look back on my life and feel I gave it my all. I want to have made up for any bad choices I made and any precious time I wasted foolishly along the way. When I am old, I want my heart to be at peace and ready at any time to meet my Maker. When I am old, I want to have left a little of me behind. closing the door on art and beauty goodbye sweet earth Submitted on July 28, 2018 for contest FOR YOUR POETRY JOURNAL sponsored by DEAR HEART AKA BROKEN WINGS - RANKED 3RD
