Time Takes Its Toll

The road leading to me

Has been quite a journey

Some brought me peace

Mingled deeply with worry

I’ve basked in the sunshine

And have been lost in the darkness

I’ve been treated unkindly

And spoiled like a princess

I’ve laughed till Ive cried

And Ive cried through my laughter

I’ve lost those that I love

But will see them in the after

I've seized the day

And wasted the moments

I’ve dues left to pay

Ones I’ll not soon forget

My body is changing

Making way for a new path

My looks, rearranging

But that’s not what I’m made of

So, here’s to the wrinkles

Proof that I am still kicking

Letting life give me tingles

While the clock keeps on ticking
