Four ages

A child I am.
New born to the sun!
Happily at play I ran.
Life had just begun.

And new love is sweet,
As her smooth arms and mine
Encircled, and intertwined ,
Clasp and meet.

And middle life is bold.
Not callow youth , nor yet old.
With strength and purpose make my way.
In proud dominion holding sway.

And now life is old.
Pallid ,shaking ,timorous cold.
Racked ,limp and short of breath.
Confront our end,but:
T'is only death.

*sigh* such a good way to tell it...I believe that death is a new birth so that is what I will look forward to someday...**big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

I don't think everyone had a chance to see, and appreciate this so we shall give it a little bump!

So that you won't ever forget me~
