Life’s Collection- a poem

AS I travel down life’s road,

I gather to me still-

Every disappointment felt,

The ache of every hill.

BUT not as burdens to display

Or sadness to reflect,

But rather as my many times

I look back with respect.

RESPECT for life and all I’ve seen

Along my many days.

And all the lessons I have learned

Through time along my way.

FOR every day is yet a chance

To learn about yourself.

As nothing in this life will give

You more towards your self wealth.
