As we tiptoe through our last days,
The ones we have left. One may think
That the best are far behind, but
This assumption is false. Many of us
Have left opportunities pass us by
And upon reflection think we are now
In for it, that being harsh judgement
From the Supreme Being, Who may
Go through the list He gave to us on
The mountain. There are no excuses,
Usually, that amount to anything, so
We must face the music. Our best bet
Is to begin to be a follower to the extent
That we are able. No one ever forgets
The feeling he gets from doing good and
The last of our days may be happy ones
And the gratitude for the opportunity
Fills us with quiet joy. We do not have to
Wave a flag because He knows. He is a
Forgiving Being and is also happy. We have
Taken the focus and our purpose away from
Ourselves and placed it on those who have
To depend on us and others like us. Life
Becomes joyous and we do not think of
Things like a Hall of Fame, but rather
Fall on our knees in thanksgiving for
Waking up to His will for us. Like a credit
Score we have raised ours overall to
One which is satisfactory. We are happy
And feel we fit in with the beauty
Of a warm summer day where the
Visuals and music of nature are overwhelming.
