Once …Once upon a time …Once upon a time there was a vibrant young girl,full of passion and ambition,full of pride and self-worth.Time …Time is the great thief.It beats you down when you are ill-prepared.It takes more than your youthful appearances,it robs your ebullience and inner stalwartness.Forward …Forever forward …never back,never standing still,always accelerating with each blink of the eye.Graying hair and clouded eyes aside,some manage to soldierpast the desolation,past the indignation,past the animosity.Many …Many will tell you …Many will tell you thatOld age brings new confidence,But many lie.
