That's Life...

 Everything in life is but a season, 

so let's pull up our socks and enjoy the ride

Soon we'll be looking back to where

We were before the turning of the tide

Sometimes I long for time it once seemed I had
when realistically,

time is not the issue; it has always only held twenty-four hours in each day...

it's the flood-gate of blessing that sometimes washes away one freedom

for another...sometimes we long for more time

for things like strolling Cretan countrysides or other blog-land vistas, or others,

  who were bloggers 'til life simply didn't allow the window of time it took to spill the view,

so they exchanged one joy for another

Wherever we are,let's not miss a drop of what soon is not!

Sometimes we look down

to notice

...we should be looking up!

Life weighs us down and ties us down

And twirls us round, oh, dear

It lifts us up and sits us up

And tips a cup of cheer

Life bakes a cake and makes us wait

To eat it ‘til its cool

It blurs the joy of words like ‘birds’

‘Hello’ and ‘after school’

Life shoots love’s darts where wronged sweethearts

Dry tears and love once more

It lures us to enjoy the view

Then hits us with the door

Years ago my Uncle Willie and Aunt Joyce played the song below on their banjos at a Frey reunion.
I think of them every time I sing it or hear it!
Hi Willie and Joyce!
Happy Easter!

p.s. the other song I remember you played that day was... I know an old lady who swallowed a fly😀
(In the weeks to follow Mom listened to her troop of youngsters belt out that song lol!)
