The Moment Nears

The moment nears—

Going to meet you 

After fifty-five years—

I'll ask: How do you do? 

How has your life been? 

How has time treated you? 

What all have you seen?

What do you now pursue? 

I'll also tell 

My life has been nice,

It has been going well,

But there's a price 

That I had to pay 

With ups and downs 

Along the way, 

Giving smiles and frowns.
