The realization dawns that time slips away,
like sands thru hand, no control, just slipping away…
with life happening like ocean waves..
cresting and splashing with full force!
No longer the youthful fire, that inspires
the bountiful energy and the elated feeling
that you can conquer the world!
when achievements were the purpose of life….
everything came so quick and easy, it was intoxicating…
Youth happens….so quick, it is shocking!
Journey feels abundant and fulfilling,
from humble beginnings to,
boundless excitement and possibilities in life
the myriad of emotions and the ups & downs..
from the agony that tore you apart,
to the beautiful moments that brought happiness,
and still bring a smile on your face…
The tread is slower but the fire kindles,
with a renewed vigor and sense of wisdom,
redefining the purpose in life,
recreating the sparks that brighten the day,
that, in giving, is the receiving,
realizing that, letting go, is the key to happiness.
