Gold...

One of my favorite songs brings me back to a memory of Gold...

"Seize upon the moment long ago,

One breath away and there you will be,

So young and carefree,

Again you will see that place in time,

So Gold"

Living in the moment so cliche right? On a hazy, cloudy, picture perfect Saturday morning the phrase fits this moment perfectly.

I never realized how quickly and in a blink of an eye a moment can define a friendship or family and change them forever.

"How can it be when we can see,

So vividly a memory,

And yes you say so must a day,

To leave a ray of sun so Gold"

What's odd to me as I reflect on my friends and family these moments are "Gold". 

Siblings and cousins go off on their own and forget these simple moments. Moments of family holidays, playing tag all day, swimming, barbecues, and moments of leaning on each other when you believed the world was ending.

"Life is but a twinkling of eye,

Yet filled with sorrow and compassion,

Though not imagine all things that happen,

Will fade to old, 

though Gold"

As we get older we need to return to the basics of life. Never forget that family will always have our backs no matter what the circumstance may be. I wish life could just be "Gold" forever but time marches on, people change, and all will fade to old.
