I sit on my front porch, pondering over this for a while; watching life go by around me, but not including me.

As my life comes to a close, I think on all I have not done.
The spaces my walls hold no frames
My trees bear no fruit
My books tell no stories

This is no doubt untrue; many a word resides in my umpteen tales, yet how many more minds may I have filled if only a reckless boy quit his shelter of a self-defined rational man?
