at the end of the day

it's rare, when you ask
an elder
what they would have done more
in their life
as they near the end
and they respond with the word
work.
i wished i would have worked
harder and longer.
i wished i would
have been at my desk more,
on my computer 
at night before going to sleep.
i wish i would have
given more of me to my job,
to my company,
to my boss. i wish i'd not
taken so many days off,
when i could have come in
and made more money for them.
i regret not selling my soul
earlier in life, until the end.
