My Life is the Alphabet

All my life is the alphabet
from that moment the 'A'
in Alpha
meets the 'O' in Omega,
there then conception.
The B is cell division
and the growth of life.
C rounded out my mother's tummy;
D was the ninth month and she
was sleeping on her side
E was her reaching out
to take me in her arms.
F was my first wobbly step
G my pride
in those first words
H was my sturdy start
walking on my own two legs;
'I' is my sense at three
that in some things
'I 'was all alone.
J includes my teen years
jumping through lifes' hoops;
my K's all involved being kind
and giving back and reaching out.
L is my middle name and
the ladders I climb from career
to the outer limits of true love.
My M's are all about my mother dear.
N is NO all the times I said and didn't say
no right or wrong
O is the endless circle I took so long
to see that all life returns and renews
if you make of it your best work
your monument.
P carries my best years ambition
and pride all in the same mix;
denying me that happiness
which is contentment.
Q is Dad lying there
on that hospital bed his month open
and his tongue askew
R is that first sense of always returning
to places I thought I had passed through
and sometimes having to re-learn what I
thought I knew.
S is satiation with things old and new
and not feeling satisfied with some things-
sated with others;
still others subsummed under headings
now to me diim.
T is time spend sifting good memories
and regrets
embedded in all my sentiments;
U is for some things I wish could be undone.
V is for the Vex I feel
for all those mysteries
still unplumbed
despite my best effort.
These are birth, life, death and beyond.
W is Me supplicant hands raised to all mystery
and awe and to wonderment..
X is the unknown factor, which defies all to perceive.
Z Leaves us all zig-zagging amid the plans we weave
to ends we do not
and never can
perceive; .
