Once upon a time my hair was a shiny brown
Now with age gray hair is now there
Once upon a time the only wrinkle I had was when I laughed
Now the creases appear without a smile
Once upon a time I had not a care
Now all burden lays upon me
Once upon a time my friends were everywhere
Now I count only a few
Once upon a time my heart was light
Now it's heavy because I take on the troubles of the world
Once I used to laugh at everything
Now I find it much harder to laugh.

Reality is harder to ignore as the years pile on...
but I hear that grandkids can bring back the joy!!!

That's so true.I have to grandchildren and when they come over to my place,it's allways a crowd with fun and screaming and yelling,becouse from grandfather they may allmost do everything.And when you see that,you know that you have done it well and that your life has bieng fulfilt.
