I’ve just been reminiscing-
And how the time has flown-
I look back on a lifetime
Wonder where the years have gone.

I’ve wrinkles, scars, and crows-feet-
And each one tells a tale-
Of ventures on life’s timeline-
That always seemed to fail.

I’ve known my share of ladies,
Of women, anyway-
Who came and went like whirlwinds
It seemed that none would stay.

I should have kept their pictures-
This list of my old flames;
I still remember faces-
But I have long forgot their names.

Memory is deceitful-
It casts a rosy glow-
Over lots of foolish choices-
Believe me, I should know.

I sit here in my study-
And cannot help but ponder-
Just where my steps will take me,
Ere my journey ends…out yonder.

Love this! There is no rosy glow on my foolish choices. As for names, I remember most of them.

A very fine distinction I can only say amen to. I seem to remember both names and faces, almost as if each were a scar and focus had been maintained on them to prevent umm…similar scars from forming.

For the record, crows feet always go better with chicken wings…just sayin’
