Born alone often with cries
maybe portents of potential
troubles ahead
Sure you have your mother
and medical staff as you
enter this world, but you
and you alone enter
and exit the womb.
Regardless of influences
the decisions throughout
your life are made by
the solitary you
And despite those that
may surround you
it’s the solitary you
that exits this world and
leaves all the vestiges of
your life behind
Bob Boyd
