Day 22 -- NaPoWriMo 2019

Used Jewels;
tired bones; and
  "the way it might be"

Broken watch, two soiled feathers, and

crushed ripe red strawberries , a boy's

pocket treasures.  Seems not much good

But jewels all to him, trading stock

 

Not for me.  Time for me's 'bout gone

Don't fly much anymore either 

Aches and pains have my name they come

to hurt my members eat my food

 

But I've gone and done most of things

Places and things most would envy  

Fifty states, 'round the world, most seas  

Married well, work and play, "Bien joué !" **

 

Everything I wanted, needed

And when the Lord calls I will come

 - Notes:
     (1)  "Bien joué !" ** is (job) "Well done" in French.  I.e. I've had a good life but not perfect.
     (2)  I've intended this to be generic, not specifically for my status.  I do fit most of this though, even the travel, as this guy sounds like she or he is on her or his last leg.  My plans are to go on for quite a few more year although there is a contingency plan as well.  None of us really know, we tend to think for better than average.
