A Little Life

I died a little today,
An inch closer I have walked to my edge.
A day lived yesterday, a little I died yesterday.
Closer I'm to see my days of edge.

I played my role a little today,
a script, a chapter or perhaps a page I have acted.
A tragedy it was yesterday,
Today was a little comedy, a little smile for me to enact.

when the curtain draws tomorrow
I'm scared a little of the uncertain of my role,
Have I prepared enough for morrow?
But t'is I  knoweth me alone can play that role.

I know not my script for tomorrow
But I died a little today,
and  little I will die tomorrow
Perhaps I should have  lived a little more today.
