Reflections on time

Time passes swiftly for the old, so they say. It seems as if you turn around and the friends you knew have grown old. You remember when things were simple. Yet, the young don't understand. To them, it seems as if time is crawling. I do remember when I felt that way. I would look at the sky and wonder if the situation I was in would ever get better. I still recall the feeling when I first got to Basic Training that it would never end. I saw the future and it looked pretty bleak. Yet, now almost 25 years later, it seems as if a blip in the past.

I don't mourn the passage of time. I learned that I need to be content in whatever situation I find myself in.
