It's almost Urne ta start singing the blues. The weather bas a little bit of a nip in it and the clouds seem determined lately ta push the sun out of the sky. As I overheard one lady rernark one day last week, "It's a lovely October morning!" And it's truc, the summer is quicly coming ta a close. When 1 was in sixth grade our music classes centered around sangs from Broadway musicals. "Sunrise, Sunset, Swiftly fly the years.- At age t'welve this adage is nat one that you cas relate ta. Packed as the days arc, they simply do not fly by. And a year, at such a tender age, is an cternity. As a child my days werc full. It would start at sucb an early time of day. It would start with seeing rny father off ta worlc, at what I would naw call as ungadly hour. Then it would bc back ta bed ta wait until the sun carne up. And with the arrival of ful daylight a full day of activity would begin. Be it a full day of scbool, or a summer's day spent building forts in thc woods, the days were neyer spent'idly. Today, my days are stili nat spent in repose. It is simply that childhoad tasks have been replaced by adult responsibili tics. Samewhere alang the way, the exact marnent 1 can not pinpaint but my warld tumned full circle. Instead of bours spent in a Calvin and Habbes state of bliss, I spent bours at work, or poring over books in as attempt ta get as education. Days used ta slip by without concern, after all there would always be tornorrow. Now as days slip by they simply bring me dloser ta yet another inevitable deadline. And such is the state of life. Swiftly, swiftly do fly the years. In less than two months I will bc twenty-threc years old. Maybe truly flot such as advanced age at alL. But it surely is a surprise that I got ta bc, here without really ever realizing that it was happening. Ycsterdays are turning into yesteryears. And somewhere deep inside of me, I will always wish ta return ta that six year old that I was that had ail the trne in the. world and flot a thing ta worry abaut.
