 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

My demise



 



Sitting here contemplating my own demise



struggling to put air in my lungs



remembering so many things that life has passed by



remembering when I was young…



Many regrets… so much time was wasted



searching for that elusive life’s dream



I wish I could have understood the road I was walking



...to have understood all the things I had seen.



My deepest regret is the loss of my children



the three things I have treasured most dear



I had tried so very hard from distance to be a father



but the days just slipped into years.



Having failed at so many things where others succeed



relationships always got lost in the haze



now having lived alone and been alone for so very long



I have no one but me I can blame.



So sitting here wondering if tomorrow will come?



knowing I don’t care what the answer may be?



I do wonder if life could have been better…



if I was born someone else… rather that me?



 



Just my Emphysema playing up



Still good….
