| | | I wept for the passing of time
as if it was an old friend
who had left
tears moved aside
a smile appeared
like the sun rising
over distant mountains
time was, and is my partner
it shows me the value of life
memories flash in front of me
reminding me
that I made the tough decisions
decisions that helped others
decisions burdened me
with responsibility without compensation
when confronted with the easy road
I took the harder path
I protected others
when they either couldn't
or wouldn't help themselves
I am a father to no one
and a father to some
I am old and getting older
my breath is not as strong
as it once was
My eyes are surrounded by wrinkles
hair thinning and growing
in places I cannot see
I am neither a good or a bad person
just a simple man
a man of courage
To Jen for making me laugh .
