The End

It is true this is it then,
the last, the end.
My life, this journey,
did it not just begin?
It seems not long ago
when I first did breathe,
now as a breath is my life
our lives and suddenly,
its over and all our
glad smiles and happy times,
are gone like grey clouds
with the dawn of sunshine,
and all that is left is often
sadness and regret,
for what remains undone
perhaps the life that we led.
But alas, it is too late
and nothing can be done,
as now we must return
to the earth we came from.
w.b. JS

Miserably dark

I disagree.
For me, it is more life affirming.
Reminds me of a plaque in my kitchen which reads..
"Give in to temptation, it may never pass your way again."

Thanks Mr. sister JM and Ken for your visit, if I were to look back at my life I would say it's been mostly a happy one, there will be disappointments and the biggest disappointment is that we don't live forever. But I have made it a priority to be Happy and enjoy life while I can, "don't worry, be happy". There'll be plenty of time for sadness at The End! Love your quote JM. made me smile though I try not to give in to temptation as much as possible. Great day! J

You are right
we are put
grains of sand
in the scheme
of things.

Love the ending

Very realistic perspective of life, no matter how we label it. One must always face up to life's reality.
Yet, as you say, we should always:
Try and make the best of every opportunity, live life full and be happy while you can...

My take (in Haiku form) is:
strive to be happy
knowing that ultimately
destiny prevails
