own.Have fun with it!!!: '; In The Autumn of My Mind';.
';The seasons changed--like the life. It starts young and new. Happy, full of hope, trusting that the new sweet buds will be blessed lightly with the showers of Spring. The heat of summer. Excitement, passion..a time of superior growth,productivity. In Fall things begin to slow. Life is approaching the last segment of time. Time to do what you have to do so you can leave the seeds of your wisdom behind. Your growth is finished.You wait and watch for the first signs of winter.Winter snow falls on your mind. You cannot remember any more. It is cold. The icy fingers of the final days eat at your bones making them nearly immovable. Now you long for Spring to come so you can be released from the prison of Winter. There is too much cold--too much inability to move. Thoughts fade. Soon you will be gone making room for the new so they will get to see their Spring. You only go through each level one time. Do well, be happy.

Ecclesiastes, Chapter 12, Verses 1 - 14
12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
12:2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
12:3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
12:4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;
12:5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
12:9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
12:10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
12:11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (KJV)
Let it not be said that God can't read us like a book.
God Bless You Sister.
if all are going to live for eternity...how can you be too old?
Thanks for posting this. I hope you and I can meet one day.
I'm in my 50s, and it's still springtime in my life. In my experience, if you settle for less, that's usually what you'll get.
