Did You Get What You Wanted?
Did you? Did you get all you wanted from your life?
Wanting so much from life, wanting it all when I was young, give me I begged to the universe, give me the money, the fame, give me the illusion of a life that matters… then you wake one day and stumble onto a new path, you now a little older, your greed humbled, the manic energy of youth now the worn patience of old. This path I am on slowly climbs higher, away from the warmth of my summers, reaching beyond the soft reds and golds of my fall, my once brilliant colors now fading into grays, not a touch of red left, even my soul, once a radiant rainbow of brilliant energy, softening slowly into the dull grayness of a foggy morning. Did I get what I wanted from this life? I can smile as I near the end of this climb. Did I? Did I get what I wanted? Yes, I got it all… I know when I am gone a few people will sit and remember, we miss him, we hope he knew how much we loved him… and I do know, and that is enough to carry me until the end… and beyond.
