At the sunset of my life I want to be able to say I did those things.
I spread my wings.
I tried new things.
*
At the gloaming of my life I want to be able to say I wrote that book.
Life gave, I took.
No second look.
*
At the twilight of my life I want to be able to say I lived my life.
I went through strife
With a drum and fife.
*
At the midnight of my life I want to be able to say I fought and battled.
My sabre rattled.
No road less traveled.
.
I love the last stanza! As usual, you prove you have a talent for poetry. π

Thanks! π
After I read it aloud to Lonnie he said something about ‘the road less traveled’ and that last stanza appeared in my head.
He really is my muse. π
