Tailspin

Listen to poem:

my head's in a whirl 
life a perpetual blur

seems like yesterday
i played marbles
in the school yard

now i'm old and wrinkled
constantly wondering 
where it is and when i'm at

You are right where you should be. the older we get the faster time flies! I have to say we are now getting more out life than we ever did in the past.

So true that we squeeze so much more out of life nowadays ~

Not to worry. It's not always 'heads or tails.' ... And spinning is just a prelude to pristine clarity! Faith and Friendship, Gershon

You are far from wrinkled and I know deep down you can still play marbles as I can play jakes I love jakes and I still play once in awhile all by myself... Thank you so very much for the compliment. Yes, I never thought I would write. Hugs Eve PS good luck in the contest.
