An excerpt from the author of "The Dash"...
Simple Truths of Life
by Linda Ellis
There is an unspoken balance
time has clearly explained
between what I've lost over the years
and all that I have gained...
Every trait that I surrender
as I slowly "lose" my youth
is replaced with a life's lesson;
traded for...
a Simple Truth.
I am the product of my years;
they have created what is me.
And every day that I have lived
has made me who I want to be.
Each person I have known or loved
is a part of who I am today.
Each left me something in my life;
each helped me find my way.
I've heard it said, "If I knew then
everything that I know now..."
But we are taught at the proven pace
that time...and life...will both allow.
These truths I've learned
from things I've done
and places that I have been...
what I'd give to take them back with me
and live my life again.
