Listen to poem:

In a Wink

a lifetime
barely a wink
where have the years gone

and then again
seems so long ago
time has flown
dissipated in a wink

the sun now setting
on a full cycle
of seasons gone

Wonderful way of looking at it, Caren, 'cause winks are so cute but unfortunately when years are measured in winks... it's going by way too fast. LOL
