And Then It Was Winter
Time has a way of moving, so quickly that you’re caught unaware
The future seems far in the future then all at once it’s right there
It seems like only yesterday I was among the young
Just married with a child our lives had just begun
Yet now it seems eons ago; the years just came and went
I glimpse of how it used to be; how my hopes and dreams were spent
But here it is – it’s winter, the winter of my life
Somehow it got here way too fast my memories are rife
I remember seeing old folks thinking that was years away
I didn’t have to think of it that is until today
So here it is – my winter and I can see the change
I’m older and I’m slower and the young now seem so strange
I find taking a shower is a target for the day
A nap is not a treat I take, it’s my mandatory way
I advance into this season unprepared for aches and pains
The loss of strength and memory; a walker and some canes
Regrets? Sure there are things I’ve done and things I didn’t do
But I’ve lived a happy lifetime.  Regrets?  There are so few
If you’re not yet in your winter, please do take some advice
It’ll be here quicker than you think time does not suffice
Whatever you’d like to accomplish in your life time – do it now
Don’t put it off till later for laters pass somehow
And you haven’t got a promise that you’ll live to see all seasons
Life sometimes is fleeting; comes and goes without the reasons
Live for today – say all the things you want loved ones now to hear
Tell them to live their life in full for their winter may be near

My spring was fun and full of life
My summer days were thinner
My fall was fat and happy
And then it was my winter
