Are We There Yet?

A naively childish question,
but, nonetheless,
still asked at the end of our lives.

Have I arrived? Am I now complete?
Is this what I intended?
Can I be sure?

What about my reputation?
Time for correction?
Or more likely, perhaps, contrition.

So like a child!
Arrived at the end of the line
and no words at all.
