In the Blink of An Eye

In the blink of an eye Things can suddenly change And the older I get Then the less that seems strange. For in life nothing's certain To any degree So the ups and the downs Switch eventually. Do not wallow or gloat Though it's tempting; know why? 'Cause you'll feel the reverse In the blink of an eye.

Yes- the dream that flies away. There is something better about playing chess or checkers on the computer - machines can't gloat!! Matthew Anish
