Reviewing the situation.
On looking back now I am old.
I see the errors which I made
I watch as memories unfold
but they no longer trouble me.
The times I failed to make the grade
I tried but unsuccessfully.
I can forgive myself I find
although I still have some regrets.
I have attained a peace of mind
Old age has taught me tolerance
of life's triumphs and life's upsets.
You win or lose: You take your chance.
On looking back now I am old
I can forgive myself I find.
