The Years of My Life

A Journey from 1944 to … Now

And now—another journey—not
Aboard a creaking crazy ship.
Instead, we’ll see what Time has wrought
Throughout my life—a different trip.

Yes, this one counts on memory—
And we will travel, year by year,
Throughout my decades—we will see
What caused me joy—what brought me fear.

My birth was 1944—
And that is where this voyage starts.
We’ll travel forward and explore
The good, the bad, the lives, the hearts

That shaped the person I’ve become.
I’ll blame no one for patent faults.
And take no credit … maybe some
So we begin this memoir-waltz.
