Time ..
We come here to this mysterious place,
Born with love, time and grace.
As we grow, we learn, along with knowledge, the more mistakes are made.
Surfing threw life, determined to stay the coarse, looking ahead oceans of a life time ahead,
A Captain of his or her own vessel,
Youthfully filled with a zest for life, all the tales of love, lessons and strife.
Fears, tears and heartbreak,
Nothing here happens by mistake.
Then one day , into the looking glass you see, Whom is this person staring back at me ?
Where there once was eyes that danced with bright sparks of laughter, holding within a eager essence for life & awaking with a leap, to see what the today might bring or what was the matter.
In quite literally the blink of a eye, the light you thought would last forever, seems to be all but fading away, your knees are old and your legs are weak, and loved ones you thought would never die, have held on, only to say goodbye.
& the smile that once made someone’s day has somehow, overnight, changed.
Then, slowly you begin to understand, this was all a part of life’s crazy plan, to gain in knowledge is priceless and has no age.
Passing along words of encouragement, and lessons to the littles growing up behind us, you where made a savage.
we hand down this knowledge, with our fragile smiles and saveing grace.
All to often we get distracted, not realizing time is the one thing we cannot replace.
Do not, no, not ever my dear, spend your time on wasted material.
Pass on your knowledge, for all the young ones to hear .. this will be how we live on, magnificent stories they will tell.. passed down from generation to generation,
From elders whom now watch from above,
time is both a friend and a enemy…
Blending here, now and then in perfect symmetry.
You must use the sand in your hour glass well.
Be ever thankful you lived long enough to pass down the stories they will tell.
