Already going for another year
Did you see it?
Did you take advantage of it?
Did you walk in nature and smell that unique smell of fallen leaves?
Such a short season
Like your life really
Eighty or ninety seasons
Some seasons of our lives are like the autumn or fall
The last twenty years of our lives for example
They went so fast
Be warned about those so called golden years
Are not what the ads say
If you live longer than your friends then you watch them die
Hearing how this one or that has died
How this and that one are in poor health
Family they too are getting older with you
In our modern world younger people do not want the old around
The old do not get it
They do not understand
So if you are one of the older ones then be warned
Find your own interests
Partners usually die separately one before the other
And if you are the one who survives the other then how will you spend your time?
Mourning is correct
For a while that is
Then how will you spend your time?
Can you even be alone?
Do you know how?
It might not seem obvious to you
However if we live longer then better be prepared
How do you spend your free time now?
How will you spend it then when you are older?
Like autumn leaves we fall one by one
And one by one we die
For me merely a transition
And for you?
What is death for you?
Prepare for your older days by living a full life now
A life where you are engaged in helping others
Where you feel good about yourself
It's too late when you get old
For you will harvest what you have sown
Will there be light on the autumn leaves of your life?
