Reunion’s Eve

My sixtieth reunion, awaits me tomorrow;
but tomorrow has come and gone;

without it; I still must live on.

I felt such love, welling up inside, that day;
I had to dry the tears in my eyes;
only joy and

Freedom Of Choice

The journey’s been long; and I’m so tired,
acquiring knowledge along the way;
trying to accomplish, whatever required;
now nearing the end of my stay.

Many consider this lifetime as a quest;
a pilgrimage of exploration;

My Secret Longing

There are things in life we simply can’t have;
and we battle over questioning why;

If Only I’d Known

If only I’d known; what I’ve since learned;
