“God pours life into death and death into life without a
drop being spilled.”
~ Author Unknown
When I was young
I gulped from the goblet
In a hurry to get more
Carelessly spilling so much of what I had
Now I am old
And I slowly sip at the champagne glass
Wanting to relish every drop
Knowing this drink in front of me
is all that is guaranteed.
"Knowing this drink in front of me
ReplyDeleteis all that is guaranteed." -- yes, indeed. All we can know is the present.
Oh this is life wisdom, so well said. Yes, now we sip.........
ReplyDelete"To love well that which we must leave ere long."
ReplyDeleteWe rarely start out with wisdom, but as we age we share the thing or two we've learned...One of them is "don't rush it."
ReplyDeleteNever rush a drink, never rush your life. Wonderful, Carrie.
ReplyDeleteA lifetime's worth of story in the last two lines ... for some who chose that road.
