Freddie, ahh, Freddie, Life leaves such a mark in us.
We're much as we were----the same tree, but just
with so many more leaves on many more branches.
How swiftly Time runs when making its changes!
Oh!, would that Today's wisdom would've graced our youth!
But, could it have made much difference, to tell the truth?
Sometimes taking "the road MORE travelled", we go
on ignorant decisions, innocently made decades ago.
We remember & reflect, with barest rue,
those sweet dreams & fond plans we meant to do.
Now, we can't trace back the way we came,
but, if we could, wouldn't we leave tracks much the same?
Our monuments stand 'round us: flesh & blood.
Our symphony is unfinished, but each movement is good!
