Creeping up swiftly
Time travels deftly
Carrying us along
Whether we would
Want to go or not
We have no choice
The nights roll by
Hours die daily as
We grow older one
Journey at a time
I always thought my mother and grandmother were old. Now, I’m my grandmother’s age. You never think you will get this old but you do if you’re lucky. Life is short so keep stroking. 🙂
Thank you! My mother passed away at age 44 about to turn 45, and I am only a few years away from that myself. We have life, and we here now and today, tomorrow we might not be 🙂
Thank you for liking “Shadow Show” and “Shelf Clouds.” Great observations about aging! It is sad but true that we will grow old whether we want to or not. Even though we don’t have any control over growing old, I agree that we can choose to spend the days we do have appreciating life and also helping our loved ones through their days. 🙂
…and if for that reason only we must live out our days…
