It was spring but it was summer I wanted;
the warm days and the great outdoors....
It was summer but it was fall I wanted;
the colorful leaves and the cool dry air.
It was fall but it was winter I wanted;
the beautiful snow and the joy of the holiday season.
It was now winter but it was spring I wanted;
the warmth and the blossoming of nature.
I was a child but it was adulthood I wanted;
the freedom and the respect.
I was twenty but it was thirty I wanted;
to be mature and sophisticated.
I was middle-aged but it was twenty I wanted;
the youth and the free spirit.
I was retired but it was middle-aged I wanted;
the presence of mind without limitations.
My life was over but I never got what I wanted.

Read this charming poem the other day on this blog, and was instantly smitten with the sweet simplicity of it. Not to mention convicted about how I do this very thing in my life so often. Lets be grateful for today and all the blessing's it has in it, yes?
Much Love.

That's a good poem. It surely tells what a human being is like. We never are satisfied with things in life.
