One day and a wake up;
I will be a year older.
Have I learned anything;
am I any wiser?
Am I a year smarter;
have I grown in stature and ability?
Am I better off than a year ago?
What do I value; what's truly important?
Am I happy, sad, angry or indifferent;
am I still seeking or have I found 
what I have been after?
Do I love anyone; does anyone care about me?
Have I made a difference in anyone's life;
has someone made a difference in mine?
Have I set the world on fire 
or has this world burnt me out?
Will anyone notice I have existed;
will I be unnoticed and just a statistic?
What's the meaning to my life 
or life to my meaning?
Did I have a sense of direction 
or was I tossed around 
like a leaf blowing in the wind?
I may have some ideas 
about answers to these questions.
All remains to be seen;
I have one day and a wake up.
If I live to see tomorrow,
maybe then I may have the answers 
to all my questions.
