Pages of Ages

Winging through the past today, mine, not the ages.
Seeing things I�d said and done, on many, many pages.
Some were good, some were bad, but still my fault they were.
Though further through the list, more good, the bad deterred.
Of this I�m glad, that means I�ve learned, a few things down the line.
If I can continue, (and I will) all not great, but should be fine.

Values, life in generals changed, to some I still adhere.
I know I�ll be judged some day, some by my peers.
I even found love recently, I thought I had before.
I was wrong, it hadn�t been, for this one I adore.
She took the good I had in me, held it in her hand.
Some I knew, some I didn�t, I made another plan.

Of all the things I�ve done in life, much wisdom I have learned.
I worked many , many jobs, for knowledge that I yearned.
Some I liked, some not so well, but trade them, I say never.
The good, the bad, the in-between, will stay with me forever.
People come and go these days, friends will hang around.
But only if you treat them fair, in your heart they can be found.

Days of youth, physique, and health, are waning so beware.
Just use the things that you have left, tender them with care.
Greed, wealth, and power, shouldn�t be with them at all.
The higher you go remember, the further is the fall.
I�m not saying you shouldn�t proper, build, save and live.
The cautious way is slower, but in the end more to give.

I can�t tell you what to do, I�m reading this myself.
I hope it helps you as much as me, anything will help.
Now the years before me, some looking forward to.
None are  promised, none assured, do what you need to do.
Others I�ll take as I find them, the end I know not here.
Bless the ones you live each day, the last one do not fear.

Where you go, and how you fare, depends on from now on.
Like, from now on I�ll try my best, look up, don�t look down.
In the end you�ll thank yourself, further down the road.
It won�t break you heart or spirit, to carry a heavy load.
Take all the things you�ve learned TODAY, keep them safe, secure.
I can�t say it will be easy, but better I assure.
