Coming to Terms

I wondered when I last said thanks to YOU?
You who was always there even though there where times I hated that you were.
Younger when I was, I always thought that everything will be alright just because you said it would be.

Older, that I am, I now realize that the cycle has to complete itself and that now the giving would have to be from me.

All of the sudden I feel insecure, for I know not if I shall get the same treatment from the young that once was me. Now I am trying hard to remember if there were times that I had failed to understand, to feel and to love.

And yet, whatever I may have done in the past, and is doing in the present, I just hope that it is enough to assure me of a peaceful life up to the end.
