Have I Lived?

Location

Have I lived so long, as I have lived today?

For it seems to me,

That as the hour swings near,

Journey's End, comes to a close.

It was on this day that I reflected,

Once on my youth,

When all things were young and fresh and full of fun;

Once on my teen life,

When all things seemed promising, and yet terrifying;

Once on my adult hood,

When life was both grand and a bit overwhelming (for life is indeed a difficult thing to overcome);

And once on my senior years,

When again all things seemed young and fresh and full of fun;

Except for I;

Who seemed to be no longer young and fresh and full of fun,

But rather -

Old and Wise and full of love.

Love does not die with age.

In fact it grows stronger till it encompasses our ENTIRE being,

And finally - we are complete.

And this means we must leave.

For once we are complete we are ready to accept God's Love.

And this is not a sad thing.

Have I lived, SO long, as I have lived today?

It seems I have.

And finally - it is over.
