Jolted By Twilight

I'm jolted by the twilight of my years. So blessed to be mid-eighty standing still to bask in memories of what has passed- and grateful for my present, awesome life. My thoughts of future years are now defined; for certain, there's an ending to my road where I will not be privy to the gifts of taking part in good times that will come. Four Great-Grand babies and one more to come; their ages now, between newborn and five. My thoughts of future joys with them decline by that uncertain span, my future holds. How many of their birthdays will I share? How many holidays will I be there with family to interact with them? These questions show my limitations well. I'm jolted by the twilight of my years. But I must grasp my life as nearly full; more empty if they never graced my world- enjoying them until that gate is closed.
