I’m sipping my red wine
Slipping back through time
Memories of a life well-lived
No regrets, but I miss those days
The past is gone and one cannot dwell
On what might have been
But rather I learn through loss
And look forward with hope
A life I could never have imagined
Complete in every way
And lived every single day
Blessed
Im not where I thought Id be
But wisdom extracts a price
And when you roll the dice
And follow the fates
Life takes its course
And your future awaits
The key is gratitude
Having learned the lessons
That they threw at you
The cackling laughter
Of the Fates in their glee
And yet without them
I simply couldn’t see
And the wheel of life
Turns, turns, turns
And eventually
Arrives back where it started
