By the Time You Read this

I will have aged....
Not a lot, but it happens so quickly
I remember the excitement of turning 16......
"Sweet" 16
I can drive.

18...An "adult" now...

NO!!! Not 30...

Middle age CAN'T be 40...

Social Security statements??
OBVIOUSLY not MINE...

That mirror.....must be warped...

It all happens so quick....

By the time you're FINISHED reading this.....

I will have aged.

fellsman... I like this one:

What's a man's age? He must hurry more, that's all; Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold. (Robert Browning)
