Analysis of Of Two Minds
I am the Me of long ago;
So many things I did not know.
Much planning and much hoping for
Some knowledge of how to explore,
In search of where my place might be
In life that seemed just right for me.
I am the Me of here and now.
From all events of life somehow
And all the people here and there
Especially with those who cared!
And so, what future will I see
As senior years descend on me?
