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
