Rose Tinted

Time
As it passes we look behind us
To the then
The when
When we were younger.
A time when all was not perfect.
Yet in our dotage 
we see the 
Misty perfection of youth.
But look not 
upon that to come as chore-some,
Our mark is made 
from start to end.
Grasp what we have 
to see the now in all.
