what a wonderful life

to see what you never dreamed of
to experience silence, dark and the reality
and to travel and after that the constant
the ravelling and to unravel
to fail and to walk and at times hide
to learn and to realise mortality 
to change and to observe the change
to smile and to search for it at times
the trial and the first burst of success
to lose and to cry
the triumph of instinct to the fall of faith
to those beautiful moments and milestones
to the unconditional allegiance
to loved ones and to the few who left us early
to pray and to skirmish
to fulfil and to the hard grind
to be blessed to be guided
to the last path and if beyond
what a wonderful life
