Reflections

                     Reflections Reflections of days gone by… The face in the mirror…  wrinkled… the hair gray. No one from yesterday… would recognize him today. Once up on a time, decades ago… he was young, strong and bold.  Life just seem to flow… and everything he touched… to turn to gold. He ventured into the world with awe… where he learned of many things from all. The oceans he sailed were deep… the mountains he climbed were tall. The people he knew were true. But time has passed him by … and no longer can he jump… over that aging wall. Now he sets and wonders why… as old friends march one by one… to that last roll call in the sky. Reflections of  people he knew… and places he’d been… those are times forever gone by…  But etched on his soul… they will never… never die.
