Until the final page

sonnet in tetrameter

Until the final page.

 

I was born a long time ago

I don’t admit to being old

I watched the long years passing slow

My story far from being told.

 

Each day I wake is a bonus

I’ve long since passed mans lifespan

Perhaps because I’m curious

I try to be an active man

 

When I reach my centenary

I won’t give up too easily

I will review what I should do

I might decide to start anew.

 

All men must die as we all know

But I’m not ready yet to go.
