The Downhill Path

The story of life

I still have mountains to climb,places to go,things to see,yet my time is fleeting.Life has become like standing on the top of a hill,I look to the left and I see the upward climb I have made in my life.I look to the right and I see the decline ahead,that will be the finish of my life.The things I still want to do have become a slave to time.The upward climb was spent living a life of the things we all do,marry,raise a family,work,all things needed to succeed.I put the things I wanted to do in the deep,dark recess of my mind and thought little about it.Now I look and I see that I cant go back down the hill I climbed,there is but one choice to start down the other side.Time and age has decided that there will be dreams left not lived.Funny,in my youth, I always thought there will always be enough time for all things,the only thought I neglected to think was getting older.Perhaps getting older is a Blessing in a way,the uphill climb is done,yet there will always be be the haunting thoughts of what could have been,
God Bless
