45 Years

David P Cronk

Three hundred sixty five days
Stacked forty-five times
Gives you thousands of days
Watch each day as it climbs

Forty-five years
And thousands of days
Thousands of options
And thousands of ways

Experiences plentiful
Memories made
Plans that you followed
Paths that you laid

Things that you did
And places you went
Times that you didn't
And the time that you spent

With each days beginning
Know there's no turning back
Make the most of today
Til it's thrown on the stack
