It’s Life
I had the really great opportunity
To go back and look ahead
And see how things were
And how they could be
It started with some childhood glee
What you and I might call - two weeks
But in the next generation
Is something completely different
And from there it rolled
A little bit of action inside
Followed by some outside play
Pass, catch, shoot, score
And then a trip
To nowhere special
Just taking time
To wander free
From here to there
And shop to shop
We shared some time
Looking for the straight and narrow
When it was found
I think the conversation went something like
“This must be really boring”
And I answered, “It’s life”
A life I’ve missed
That once I’ve loved
Looking back
And looking ahead
The tooth fairy made an appearance later that day
But that’s a story for another day
In a life that seems rich
But not exactly complete
