Seven decades

Is a l – o – n – g time

But is it enough?

Enough to be

recognized

respected

remembered

HEARD?

Does it matter

When you're used to the back seat?

Do your years diminish

In the shadow of theirs?

Is it enough to be MORE

Than an afterthought?

Does it carry enough weight?

Perhaps it only

weighs

25,000 days

600,000 hours

36 million minutes

Each

clock

Has left its mark,

Where it doesn't show.

Is it enough?

Enough to

Find

The

Exit?

Today feels like “Yes.”


A/N: Just some thoughts on an upcoming birthday and how it feels today.
