Lifetime Poem by Gerry Legister

Lifetime

Rating: 5.0


Some people come into your life for a season,
Others come for a reason and a lifetime.
Life is never too long,
Embroiled with a few scenes of the time
In recollections of when you were strong

Heroics of fun, memorable ones
Queue in the refinement line
Most of all, its landscapes
blurred around the edges of your mind
leave whatever pieces you want to remain.

For future generations to view
the mournful loss of a friend,
Others are destined to succeed you
after stumbling graciously to the end.
