Time

 Time. Friend or foe, godsend or curse. Time is a constant but periods within it are short by comparison and ever changing. Time is the one thing that no living being will ever seem to have enough of in the grand scheme of things for we are here only but a moment when you stop and really think about it.

 When we are kids it seems as if time just crawls along ever so slightly and it looks as if growing up is taking forever but once we get older it seems like just the opposite, it is going by way to fast. We get older and have a family and we watch our kids grow. As we watch them grow we start saying to ourselves that they are growing up just to fast. Then their are those times we look at them and see how they are acting and our tune changes for a moment. We tend to start thinking they aren’t growing up fast enough. Go figure.

 It has never ceased to amaze me how time works in its ways and wonders particularly when it comes to good and bad happenings. Life and death. Love and heartbreak. The beginning and the end. Funny how all these things are connected to one another.

 We are born and we die. If fortunate enough we are witness to or are part of, in one way or another to births. We can watch these newborns as they grow and see what they become and possibly have children of their own and watch them grow. From the time of conception to the time of birth it seems as if it will never happen but once the child is born they are grown up in the blink of an eye. Along with life comes death. No one is immune to it or the devastation that its impact has on us. The death of our loved ones and of friends will be on our minds for many years if not until the time of our own passing.

  Love, the most joyous of feelings. The feelings of wondrous delight and also, when gone wrong, utter destruction. When a love goes bad it leaves us with the feeling that our heart, yet our very soul has been ripped out from within us leaving a vast void of emptiness and along with it comes an emotional pain, a pain so great no physical pain could ever rival it and no drug could ever ease it. That emotional pain and emptiness last for what seems like an eternity even tho it might only be there for a few weeks to a few months..No one should ever have to go through it but we all do at some point in time and some face it more than others.

 There are many different types of love like the love of family and of friends and even our fellow man. All of these various loves are powerful in their own accord and apart from the love we have for our own children and/or grandchildren, the love that we have for the one that makes us feel whole is a love like that of no other. It is the love for this one person that makes us feel complete and that our longing is over. The love that we have for and recieve from this one person can get us thru the hardest of times and darkest of days. This love gives us a joy unlike any other and even gives a strength in times of need it seems. Many can only hope to find such a love.

 I am very fortunate to be able to experiance this kind of love for I have found the one that completes me and brings this love to light. She is beautiful, funny, and above all else she is a true blessing. There is nothing that I wouldn’t do for this lovely and beautiful woman and that she knows and in my eyes she can do no wrong. Although I am not worthy of being with this lady I am grateful and lucky to be with her and to her I have one thing to say and that is , baby I love you.

 For every beginning their is an end and that is natural and their is nothing that can be done about it. It’s true that we might be able to slow the coming of the end if only for a bit but the end will still come. It always seems as if the good things that come in life last the shortest and the bad last the longest which is sad to say. All that we can do is try not to think about or dwell on the noy so pleasant things in life but instead cherish the happier of times for it is they that last the shortest.
