The slightest of jokes I'll render on,
Not too dicey for a roll I'll take my chances,
For the option lays clear with no cluster,
While we live to please the next person,
Time flies to wait for no man.
If you are to remain behind then take a ponder,
You should live not to reminisce but recite;
Let the foregone pessimism be a glow,
Only to be dimmed in an optimistic loom.
There shall be no holding back on this day-
For it is within us that we lag in the rearview-
To feature in a mirror without a reflection,
To foresee why we may tremble going forth,
As the laughter we share will always leave an impact;
Not in this lifetime or the other but only later on as it may seem to be something worth remembering.
