Do you remember many
years ago when you were
so young and you could
get anything done?
You blink and everything
has changed and you look
around and life seems so
strange and everything
has been rearranged.
Your loved ones and those
you called friends have gone
leaving you  to only cry and
to wonder why.
Don't live life too fast because
everyday that you wake up
might be your last.
Another blink and you begin
to think that you are on the
down side of your life and
you say to your wife,
"where did it go?"
Sit back and slow things down
so you won't feel like a clown
as the World just spins around.
Realize that the time you have left
can be the best and you can take
what defines you to rest because
that is how you affected others
and how you will be remembered.
Don't let the remaining years
bring too many tears as you
come to terms with the fact
that it will all be over in the
blink of an eye.
Have fun while your enjoying
that last run and do something
for number one.                                Jon York      2011
