Time To Say Goodby

The story has been often told
Wake up one day
And now you're old
you wonder how the years flew by
Sad enough to make one cry
Now the months just fly along
Life's no longer some sweet song
The years ahead 
You start to dread
How many left
Before you're dead

Powerful truthful words Gary. I always contemplate how quickly the years pass as we use our time with the insignificant daily rush. In retrospect, I would have slowed down, and enjoyed the moment for what it was.
