Things of skill
Of trades well learned
Of fame and fortune
Duly earned
Acts of value
Civic duty
Charitable deeds
And feats of beauty
Things that worthy men
Aspire to
Things I’m sure they
Always will
Living lives
As I cannot do
Yet mayhaps my way
Is better still
For I’ve lived
A haphazard life
Of happenstance,
Foible and flimsy
And even better still
(and few can say)
I’ve lived a life
Of whimsy
…And I’m way OK with that! …
