Clearing The Way

Posted on 4th Jul 2020 by rohit kumar

I have waited quite a long time to get old,

So I think I should try to enjoy it.

I can't turn it in for a refund,

And I surely don't want to destroy it.

 

They tell me that life is a one-way street,

As if I am too dumb to know.

I might as well keep moving on forward.

There's not much choice where to go.

 

I would like to lighten the luggage

I've accumulated over the years.

I'd be smart to release all the memories

That brought about heartache and tears.

 

So now that I'm ready for the rest of the trip,

I foresee no problems ahead.

I'll make each day be a worthwhile event,

With no regrets for the life I have led.
