My Gifted Life

We race
Along the plain
Following
A path dimly seen
Darkness
Hides the path behind
History
Dimly seen
Choices
Yet to make

Each
Alone and yet together
Some
Leave before us
Others
Leave after
Yet
We can sometimes help others
Make
Their path last longer
With
Greater joy and laughter

Make ready
For those who you can help
Understand
There are those who will slip between your fingers
But always
Watch
the
Path
