Wherefore

Another year's passed In the blink of an eye Time to take stock Once more to ask What, When and Why What have I accomplished? When will I do more? Why have I delayed? ~ Wherefore?

I had a whole list of things. None of them are checked. I had not realized it until this poem, so thank you.

Gershon, Let me be one that said.., never trying to be just another that flattered. The year that you bought was bargained well in heart and thought, and truly a life that mattered. Happy New Year Gershon. -Richard

This is a great time to examine oneself and ask these questions. There's always room for self improvement, as your poem illustrates. Nicely done! :) Evelyn

Yes, the quest starts with questions! (That's a safe bet, eh?!) As someone once advised me: The biggest room in the whole world? -- That's the 'Room for Improvement!'). Smiles. Happy New Year, Evelyn!
