The Story of Me

The Abridged “Cliff Notes” Version

Enter, Stage Right

Not much to tell
So this will be quick
Nothing special happened
Though many memorable moments

I was born smart
More clever than most
But sadly, I did not apply
My mind to its full potential

I’ve fallen in love
And then out of love
Once, twice, maybe thrice
And now, fallen in love once more

I led a quiet life
Never been famous
Never been filthy rich
Done nothing exceptional

Children I raised
Fine, grown up now
I’m glad they’re not like me
They’ll realize all of their dreams

Others, I help
Whenever I could
I try to pay it forward
Hoping to get it on the flipside

Some I’ve rubbed
The wrong way, and so
I hope they will forgive me
Before I leave starship Earth

The story of me
Quite long in years
Short on accomplishments
A busload of pleasant memories

Exit, stage left

The End.
