OLD TOO SOON

"OLD TOO SOON"

(author unknown)

In the twilight of life, when shadows grow long,

I reflect on the journey, the path I've been on.

Too soon, I was old, with wisdom in tow,

But too late did I learn, the truths I now know.

Youth slipped through my fingers, like sand in a breeze,

As I chased after dreams, with such desperate ease.

But time has a way of revealing its truth,

Leaving scars on the heart, like wounds of a sleuth.

For I thought I was wise, with knowledge in hand,

But the deeper I searched, the less I understand.

Regrets weigh heavy, like chains on my soul,

As I long for the innocence, that once made me whole.

Too soon, I grew old, with wisdom too late,

To change the mistakes, to rewrite my fate.

But still, in the darkness, I hold onto hope,

That in the end, there's a way to cope.

For life is a journey, with twists and with turns,

And sometimes we learn, when the candle burns.

So I'll carry on, with the wisdom I've gained,

And pray that in the end, it was not all in vain.
