Had a life
time to get it right
And it is
still not right.
Nobodies
fault but my own,
And I have
tried, time
And time
again
Only to come
up short,
Far short of
happiness.
Pursuit I
have had,
Pursued it
my whole life.
But here I
sit alone
With my dog
and the TV.
Not the way
I hoped,
Not the way
I have dreamed,
But it has
come to this
With the
best I can do.
Who can I
blame,
What can I
do?
I do not
like it,
But it is
the best I can do.
The grave
beckons
At the end
of my days
Which comes
closer
With each
passing day.
Dream on,
dream on,
Dream of the
one,
The one who
will come.
Better late
than never,
But never I
fear.
Yet in the
days to come
My horse and
my dog
They do
comfort me.
I am glad
for all that I have had,
But wish
that I had more.
I wish that
I had done more,
It was the compromises
I made
That led me
to this day,
Not my way
or the Highway.
But for all
involved
This is the
best I can do.
I am as I
am, changed into
What I am by
the decisions
I have made
in life.
Some
willingly,
Others by
force.
Forces by
the best
Of the alternatives
available.
It is with a
light heart
That I move
onto my grave,
Which awaits
at the end of my days.
