After reading the poem I think it hits on the process of life, and just growing older. Making wise choices without being broken by certain events that may occur because no one's life is perfect. Make your own life choices through experience, and your understanding of it. Then reflect upon the life choices as you get older, and consider them your own life lessons.

Explanation / Answer

Yes, I agree with you. Poem is about the life choices one makes during the lifetime. It doesn't rhymes because the poet is directly speaking to the reader instead of telling a poem. The poem says that the purpose of life cannot simply be wrapped up by its ending; it is in living that one finds value whivh is true fir human Life
