My Life Song
I ask of you, don’t cry for me for I have lived my years. Save the salt and save the water for those who need your tears.
Please celebrate my journey! Lose your sorrow and concern. We only get one ride in life, and I simply took my turn.
Of myself, I have been proud. Of myself, I’ve been ashamed. But through it all, no matter what I’m the only one I’ve blamed.
Life’s answers became clearer
when I looked through aging eyes
at the should’ve beens, the could’ve beens, the what if’s...and the why’s.
I’ve had joys and I’ve had sorrows. No need for totals or for tallies of the ups and downs in my life. I’ve had more peaks than valleys.
I’ve had good friends, I’ve had bad, and I’ve been both, it’s true. For I have lived and loved enough to have lied and been lied to.
I have fretted; I have stressed, and I have filled my mind with doubt about the troubles and the problems that alone, work themselves out.
There are times I would have risen high if not for my fear of the fall,
but I’ve learned that feeling pain is better than feeling nothing there at all.
