REMINISCING
Looking back over the years
I see laughter and I see tears,
So many ups and so many downs
Some mourning and some songs
 
Pondering all of this life
Yes, sometimes peace and sometimes strife,
I would not know how to be glad
If I knew not the meaning of sad
 
Life is certainly a two way street
I must be watchful where I tread my feet,
This sojourner’s walk has its share of takers
And also, an amazing amount of givers
 
The devious and the strong are often stilted
Whilst the weak and poor get jilted,
So, in my moments of being melancholy
I find the strength to continue this journey…
