Time for Reflection
The end of the year is not far away
I sit and write my Christmas cards and realise their are fewer than last year
The present is slowly slipping past
Friends and relatives leave this earth and only memories remain
They leave behind happy memories of times spent with them
A life which, from this distance, seems to have been much gentler than it is now
I do not mourn - but rejoice that I was part of their lives and they of mine,
The coming generation will fill the gaps and life will continue
Not as it is now, but as it will become because they will shape it
Christmas is a time to take stock of where we are
The New Year will lead us to the path we must now take.
