Wasted away with reckless abandon
Abused and neglected as though nothing to lose
Elder years bestow the treasure most deeply cherished
For in youth we’re blind to the riches worth
Trusting the vein will flow eternal
“till tragedy or life doth rear it’s head
Once lost to gluttony its lost to eternity
No matter how hard we try to relive
Regret can destroy through foolishness folly
As we know not when we be called back home
Squander not the gift so limited and precious
Share freely with those you most dearly love
The value of time cannot be embellished
For fleeting moments once gone are gone
Dom DiFrancesco
