Seasons of Me
Colors of my season wither
and fall around me.
I see them leave to quickly
and begin to fade long before their time.
I look in the mirror
and see myself withering
and the colors of youth
quickly fading away.
Soon I shall be withered
and my being will be forgoten,
except in the sparkle of a blue eyes grand child,
or great grand child living in their season.

Wow -- how poignant, Ruth -- how sad, but true! (((hugs)))
((((hugs)))) and in the hearts of friends, for whom you made a difference.
Beautifully written and forgetting you would not be an easy thing.
this is touching
change scares me more than most things. but you're dealing with it with dignity. admirable
I doubt you will be forgotten
Wonderfully written. Who could possibly forget you?
Amazing! Simply wonderful =)
beautifully said. Buddhism and other religions, philosophies and beliefs explain we shed these bodies and take new ones in much the same way we buy new clothes when our old clothes wear out. proof of this is subtle in dreams and the unique talents we are born with but nature demonstrates this renewal all the time and we are very much part of nature.
Beautifully-written.
very inspiring.
Hi Ruth,
Nicely written.
I look in the mirror and see an old second hand body staring back at me. It was only yesterday that I was 17 and had just seen the most beautiful girl in the world.
