When Life Takes A Back Seat

You can wait yourself out
until pride no longer serves
you as a purpose...

As you sit there and age
beyond the gray hairs
and middle section
grown wider...

You'll remember...
You will remember
what it was that was shared

Those laughter moments
that hurt deep inside
the games that were played
when summers heat
was cast aside...

The tears, the fear, the memories
all became a reality
not for one, but for all of us
that changed our lives
unimaginable...

Now look at what remains
all taken by a fate
not all of us have seen

Is it too late?
to get on with our dreams
or has stubborness
and pride claimed the last of thee.
