You
know,
time
has
a
way
of
moving
quickly
and
catching
you
unaware
of
the
passing
years.
It
seems
just
yesterday
that
I
was young,
just
married
and
embarking
on
my
new
life
with
my
mate.
And
yet
in
a
way,
it
seems
like
eons
ago,
and
I
wonder
where
all
the
years
went.
I
know
that
I
lived
them
all...
And
I
have
glimpses
of
how
it
was
back
then
and
of
all
my
hopes
and
dreams...
But,
here
it
is..the
winter
of
my
life
and
it
catches
me
by
surprise...
How
did
I
get
here
so
fast?
Where
did
the
years
go
and
where
did
my
babies
go?
And
where
did
my
youth
go?
I
remember
well..
seeing
older
people
through
the
years
and
thinking
that
those
older
people
were
years
away
from
me
and
that
winter
was
so
far
off
that
I
could
not
fathom
it
or
imagine
fully
what
it
would
be
like...
But,
here
it
is...my
friends
are retired
and
really
getting
gray...they
move
slower
and
I
see
an
older
person
now.
Lots
are
in better
shape
than
me...
but,
I
see
the
great
change...
Not
like
the
ones
that
I
remember
who
were young
and
vibrant...
but,
like
me,
their
age
is
beginning
to
show
and
we
are
now
those
older
folks
that
we
used
to
see
and
never
thought
we'd
be.
Each
day
now,
I
find
that
just
getting
a
shower
is
a
real
target
for
the
day!
And
taking
a
nap
is
not
a
treat
anymore...it's
mandatory!
Cause
if
I
don't
on
my
own
free
will...I
just
fall
asleep
where
I
sit!
And
so,
now
I
enter
into
this
new
season
of
my
life
unprepared
for
all
the
aches
and
pains
and
the
loss
of
strength
and
ability
to
go
and
do
things
that
I
wish
I
had
done
but
never
did!!
But,
at
least
I
know,
that
though
the
winter
has
come,
and
I'm
not
sure
how
long
it
will
last...this
I
know,
that
when
it's
over...its
over....Yes
,
I
have
regrets.
There
are
things
I
wish
I
hadn't
done
,,,,,things
I
should
have
done,
but
indeed,
there
are
many
things
I'm
happy
to
have
done.
It's
all
in
a
lifetime....
So,
if
you're
not
in
your
winter
yet...let
me
remind
you,
that
it
will
be
here
faster
than
you
think.
So,
whatever
you
would
like
to
accomplish
in
your
life
please
do
it
quickly!
Don't
put
things
off
too
long!!
Life
goes
by
quickly.
So,
do
what
you
can
today,
as
you
can
never
be
sure
whether
this
is
your
winter
or
not!
You
have
no
promise
that
you
will
see
all
the
seasons
of
your
life...so,
live
for good
today
and
say
all
the
things
that
you
want
your
loved
ones
toremember...and
hope
that
they
appreciate
and
love
you
for
all
the
things
that
you
have
done
for
them
in
all
the
years
past!!
"Life
is a
gift
to
you.
The
way
you
live
your
life
is your gift
to
those
who
come
after.
Make
it
a
fantastic
one."
