Perspective

When I was young, I’d wonder why
bad times would come to make me cry.
What had I done? What was the cause?
Were these the fruits of divine laws?

Now that I’m old, each day’s a gift:
the good, the bad, the subtle rift.
My life flows swift towards end of time
and I am glad that they are mine.

Unfulfilled literary aspirations?.

Or just stop by to appreciate others’.

    I'd still rather have more good days than bad, even as I get older and older.
