A Full Life Revolution

Life comes in several stages,

Or that they tell us so,

Many of these stages,

I've seen both come and go.

The point that we all reach,

Is to question when,

The future holds as much as past,

Or will our living wane?

The crisis of the mid-life,

The experts call it thus,

When wondering and wandering,

Can cause our steel to rust.

Mortality we face head on,

The limits of our living,

The lost time and squandered hours,

And worlds so unforgiving.

The crisis is not the issue,

It is the resolution.

Time is not the limiting,

It is continued evolution.

The world is not dictator,

It is in need of revolution.

Seek not to live in the past,

Move forward to the future,

Unknown paths await,

Perhaps so different from where you came.

Seek your own resolution,

With continued evolution,

Where needed provide,

A full life revolution.

Great job - really touches my heart.

Favorite!!!!!! However, it should be steel! Just a minor flaw but had to point it out to you. Hope I didn't offend you.
