Ah, the future

What does it hold?

A life of happiness awaits us,
But only if we seek it,
Make it.

Five years from now, not a glimpse of similarity.
All we have is now.

All who hail together now shall find new beginnings,
New friends,
New towns.

With spouses,
Creating new families.

Trying to drive a wayward pony through the tall fields of life.
No easy task, mind you.

Great appreciation for everyone of the now, no doubt.
But over the sunrise, only a handful will remain.

People are always cycling in and out of our lives.
I hope the ones I wish to be standing there will be.
Oh, they will be.
They always will be.

(Note-this picture is of former classmates of mine. The girl with the dark hair was in a near-fatal car accident. This was the day she left rehab...8 months later. Her friend Lindsey's face...shows it all. We admire your fighting spirit, Liz.)
