change


the wheel of life
turning, turning everyday
tho it may be the most distant of thoughts, it continues to turn
seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years--life.
yes, the turning wheel is often forgotten
until tragedy strikes...
an tragic medical diagnosis
a lost loved one..
looking in the mirror and seeing age for the first time
realizing your days of youth are slipping away,
and finally having a revelation of the true value of time
wishing desperately that you had realized it sooner
but so thankful that you were now aware...
the wheel of life
turning, turning everyday

This is really deep. It brings up something that we sometimes never realize or shove to the back of our minds. The fact that time never stops and whatever we spend/waste it on is what will be set in time forever. That's something we don't see sometimes is that forever is just as far away as yesterday. Awesome Ms. Mccoy :)
