Struggle

Summer days may linger, push hard to stop night’s fall. But the sad truth remains, darkness will take us all

Ah but there is light at the end of the darkness. Depends on perspective perhaps. The glass is half full or half empty? Even if half empty it is an opportunity to fill it with more of what we thirst for right? Love how you inspire thought with this one Jerry!

You are so right Karen. As the saying goes, when one door closes, another opens. That goes for death also. Have a wonderful day, my friend.

If we are prepared, it doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.

Sad days but necessary for the growth of vegetation.

we will all meet the same fate eventually. It's where we want to spend our time after that that is important.
