Day by Day,
As I continue to climb the ladder of time, I am acutely aware that I draw closer to the point Where I can climb no further, whether the body Gives out or I run out of ladder.
It is inevitable; Something we all will face, We draw nearer to That point with every breath we take from The moment we are born.
Not something to be happy about, But also something that should not be Dwelt upon either.
What is important is what you DO in the time between your First and last Breath.
Did you leave a lasting gift Of loving memories for those Friends and family who will miss You?
Is your legacy one of
Peacemaking, of people
Building?
OR,
Did you spend your life in
Spite, Or worse;
The Pointless
Pursuit of
Excess?
