RESTLESS (Part4)

 “Words are like nets - we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder.” Jodi Picoult, Change of Heart

more than halfway on this trip
ups and downs along the way
with lesser spaces yet to cover
and running out of things to say
father time’s slowing me down
no matter how frequent I run
I guess there’re just some things
that I can't possibly undone

there were regrets of course
this life isn’t a perfect one
took for granted a lot of things
as a father, husband, and son
memories will always be there
reminding me of the lost times
I can’t simply bring them back
not even with mournful rhymes
