And so we
greet the last hurrah
With bittersweet emotion.
We face the greatest challenge
Of a lifetime of devotion.
So, do we end it with a bang
Or with a quiet whimper?
A mask of solemn dignity?
A violent fit of temper?
How you want to be remembered
Doesn't count for much.
Human memory is too short.
It can't account for such.
Just getting to the last hurrah
Is what makes it worthwhile.
At journey's end you can reflect
On each and every mile.
