Reflection on life

As we reflect on the years, now gone by,
Is there wisdom, for us to survive?
Heed of direction, to things that were planned,
Discarded vows, for greener promised lands,
Distrust and heartache, are things we live through,
What of the mind games, the trials, the truths?
Values of honor, scarred deep on my heart,
My trust is the nightmare, that played us a-part,
Now I contemplate on life's new surprise,
What is to happen, can you surmise?
