The Final Version

The final version of myself,

not yet achieved,

will be the finest version.

Or so I hope.

The optimist in me,

newly arrived,

projects progress into these late years,

even as I bring to bear on life's vicissitudes

a previously rare courage,

a compassion hitherto reluctant

to show itself.

With courage and compassion my companions,

the faithful dog and pony accompanying my road show,

I will attain the finest final version

within my capacity.

Finally.
