The pages turn faster every day.Reading more slowly,I savor the words.A leisurely review of my life story.Wandering through misleading halls,rooms without doors, towers without stairs.whispers reflect, evidently answering unspoken questions.Evaluating triumphs and losses.acknowledging mistakesof thought and action,realizing my faith has failed.Reading more slowly,I savor the wordsand wonder who will hear my talewhen there is no…
