"Enough"

"Enough"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I stand here in the edge of the river

looking at what I have become

This look , this stare , this demeanor

The man shaped to achieve so much valor

And I find the things that are lacking

That I am old and the valor has gone past

The drive has been diminished and I am scarred

Could this be the last day at last?

The things that I have not done

Nor the things I have left unsaid over the years

The shallow and deep things that dwell in my heart

with all its tears and tears and fears  

But you took my hand and took me away

Probably long before I can see

And you said these words before I can doubt

"You are enough for me."
