When I was 28...

A little less

dreams of the past,
nightmares of the future,
they ask,
master of the present,
what have you done?

have you smiled,
twice more than you should have?
made a day,
little more beautiful than it was?
helped a bit more than was practical?

At 28,
Do you claim to be unfazed?
by greed and by emotion,
by yourself chasing illusions,

What have you done?
A little more than was required?
or a little less...
this day you were born
is it special?
