Set aside
To find the time to remember what one must doTo reflect on all the trouble ones been through
To expect to find solace in empty fields of green
To live uncompromising in a life lived so unseen
To lie to ones self to comfort guilt and shame
To admit frailty washing blood down the drain
To realize one is older but not so ready wise
To accept that all those notions were never set aside
To reckon one has lived a life with duty , sense , and pride
To fall asleep while thinking about tears that one has cried
To know inside ones heart that one has done all that one can
To know beyond all doubt of doubts one is a troubled man
To look at all the reasons and ask the questions why
To finally fall to years long gone and lay one down to die.....
