Thirty

Three Decades

A third of my life

What have I accomplished

In this limited time

 

I have a family

Full of love and life

A path forward

Through any future strife

 

Behind me a path

Of actions taken

Guilt and shame

For the embodiment of my sins

 

Love given

Friends lost

Risks taken

And consequences earned

 

See, the path of life

Is not a straightforward path

It is the chaos

Of destiny and decision
