Too soon has summer shed her green
Too soon has life denied a dream
Too rapidly the winter comes
Too willingly the heart succumbs

Too fast the moments pass us by
Too short our life, too soon to die
The fleeting days I don’t lament
I only grieve how they were spent

So many times we have this feeling of "Too Soon" and you rendered it well, but I am soooooo sure that your days are spent well, dear Elizabeth. You see, today you shared this beauty with us and there is joy in this sharing as we can relate.

Beautiful!

Love,
Margherita

We still are embraced by the sun, but I can't imagine a more beautiful place than where you are in the fall?  Even a short walk in those surroundings would warm the coldest soul.
