“Reflections”

As we kneel and look into the pond of life.
What reflections do we see?
What memories does that scar on the right of your face share?
What memories do the laughter lines bring out?
What thoughts are brought to the fore?
Are we happy with the face we see?
Is the face clear as day?
Is it perhaps clouded in shadows of regret?

I hope when my time comes to look into the pond of life.
The reflections are of me.
The memories of the scars are good.
The lines are of laughter and not sadness.
The thoughts are the pleasures, joy and happiness I shared.
That the face is clear as day.
That the shadows are from a good life lived and not from regrets.
This is my wish for you and me.
That our reflections are the sum of what we achieved, with no regrets, with a life lived.
