Life Is Full by Denis S Simons

Life is full
Of undertakings incompleted;
Golden chances lost;
Destinations never reached and
Bridges never crossed;
Worthy causes unsupported;
Kind words left unspoken;
Ideas not put into practice;
Compacts idly broken;
Projects that remain unactioned
Trains and buses missed
Love affairs unconsummated
Willing lips unkissed;
Tasks that never quite get finished
Desires no more than dreams;
Ambitions largely unfulfilled, and
Schemes that lay just schemes
But,
In the hoping
And the trying
In the fighting
And the crying
In the travelling
And arriving;
In the reaching
And the striving
In the planning
And the scheming
In the wishing
And the dreaming
Life is full
