Reflection

Take a deep breath of air Look into the arc of the sun Today we are full of life Who knows what the morrow brings Seasons come and seasons go Summer rains and winter snows Past memories engulf our mind Thoughts of yesteryear left behind We progress with each new day Creating new moments to hide away Seasons come and seasons go Summer rains and winter snows We can live in the present or past Just remember life moves on fast Life comes with no guarantee Here today, gone tomorrow Then life is but a distant memory. 12/02/15

and another one. OH MY. I really like this one because it is a reflection on the new year and more. Love that refrain. One of your best of the ones I saw tonight.

G'day Phyllis... We can reflect on our past and dream of the future but we must treasure the here and now for that is what we truly only have. Nice work Phyllis - Lindsay

Thanks Lindsay for your comment seems I am reflecting on life and what we do with it and how we live it. Life is a miracle we should make the most of it.
