Sitting in the darkness just the glow of the screen

Shutting out the thoughts of what might have been

A grand adventure just one of the plans

Possibly unobtainable, probably fatal

The options get reduced as every day passes by

Every small victory grows much larger as our time grows shorter

But every victory is now more important in the balance sheet of life

Every triumph achieved ads to the dignity of our lives

One day I suppose I will feel pleased each time I ascend the stairs

Then wonder why I went there and feel pleased with a successful descent
