Related: About this forumAs I approach the far edge of my life
I do not---am not meant to---know
if my stepping off point lies just 'round that next bend
or beyond some distant hill.
Though I am certain that my beginning
is much more distant than my end,
I am ignorant as to whether there really is an end
---or maybe just another beginning.
Either way, I'd best use my now wisely
and leave no one I love untold.

(7,694 posts)1. I honestly think I am really pushing the far edge of my life
I was 81 years old yesterday and I am so grateful that the people in my life I hold dear know it. I wake up every morning glad to see I still inhabit the earth.
