FADE

Fading, fading ….
We avoid it
and we ignore  it.

We only have
so much time
and we know it.

Like the cover
of a paperback book
left on a window sill, we fade.

Life, I better do a lot more
between my covers to be novel
and to enjoy telling my story.

Fading, fading ….
Who me? Yes me.
I know it and I don’t like it .

None of us like it !!

We come into this world rosy and smooth and if we live long enough we fade and fade.........

Let's hope we leave some color behind . :o)
