The Curse Of Aging

It's so bitter sweet

With each year's end
One tends to reflect
On all the events that have transpired
The people that have come
The ones that have left

A combination of relationships is an ocean
Some people make waves
Only a few make tsunamis
The special ones that will change
The landscape that is your life

The sad thing about aging
Is you'll see many people
Fade away in time's hour glass
Leaving nothing but memories
Imprinted on your heart forever

But that's the meaning of life
It isn't about tomorrow
But what has already happened
The building blocks of life
That has already been placed

That's the catch, isn't it?
Left to continue on life's path
With the past's shadow following close
Good and bad memories tasting bitter sweet
Only to picture the hope of tomorrow

It's just life's little joke
That we can only acknowledge with a weary glare
But we will play its twisted game
Because we don't have a choice
It's the curse of aging

Love this comment. Mostly because it's true. xD Sad but that's life for you.

This is very true in some aspects. Life is about making memories and enjoy the moments for tomorrow isn't promised; only today is.

As we get older there are more people that leave foot prints in our memories. Some depart, taking life in a new direction, while others leave this plane to move on to the spiritual one. The longer we are alive the more this tale unfolds.
