Winter Of Your Life

And it's winter before we know it.... You know, time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young. And yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all... And I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams... But, here it is..the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise... How did It get here so fast? Where did the years go? And where did my youth go? I remember well.. seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like... But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting gray. But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last... I know, that when it's over...its over....Yes , I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done ,,,,,things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime....Life goes by quickly. You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life..."Life is a gift to you.
