We weave our years
in wishes and dreams,
ever hopeful of completion
yet knowing as nature...
we understand we will always evolve.
We climb the aging ladder,
stumble over a rung or two,
sometimes wondering which is last
but mostly focusing
on each one...or peering down.
No safety assurances.
Only our created blanket,
each thread a connection
to loved ones
skills
environment
pleasures
passions
and all the unknowns
and hopes
in our
wishes
and dreams.
