over twenty-five thousand nights
and days have I seen so far and
several thousand more ahead...
some of them have been cold and wet
others have been humid and dry,
most of the knowledge acquired
was never used - left wondering
as to the point of it all... a couple
of wives helped me celebrate life
and a couple of wives took more
life out of me than they gave back,
visions of memories without photos
flash through my mind from time
to time reminding me of how lucky
I was to be there even thought I
cannot remember the trip or the days
spent at those various locations...
friends were made and lost dozens
of times as I changed from one job
and location to another but when I
left those halls of chores none of them
made an effort to come with me or
stay in touch... it is always amazing
how quickly life takes us to the end.
