It's FIRST OF MAY. Now, come what may. Can LIFE really be that FRAGILE?

TIME HAS FLOWN, right?


It's been week after week, month after month,


And soon we'll be approaching mid-year.


Aghast?


This thing called TIME AND TIDE,


It waits for no one.


IS LIFE REALLY FRAGILE?


Perhaps.


Seasons come, seasons go,


LIFE IS A SERIES OF COMINGS AND GOINGS,


Lives and deaths,


Falling in and out of love,


Like a roller coaster zooming pass doors,


Opening them to take a quick peek,


And then shutting them in a jiff to continue the journey -


So reach out and treasure those around you.


They may be here today, gone tomorrow.


We often take loved ones for granted.


Until one fine day they are no longer there to root for us,


Yet when they were around,


We did not even bat them a second glance


Didn't we?


Until it's too late.


Loved ones guide us in certain aspect of our lives,


Their love and encouragement will touch us and survive the passage of time,


I just know that once in a long while, I'd take a trudge down memory lane


and relive deeds and misdeeds of the past,


It's unearthly gratifying to indulge in memories of days gone by,


Happy days, sad days,


To come to grips on how our lives have taken us,


on what we were then


of how we are now.


If only we could turn the clock backwards,


If only we have the chance to do it all over again,


Would we? Could we?


Memories may be beautiful,


But there're also some that are too painful to remember.


I remember well the well-worn lyrics of an old song FIRST OF MAY


poetic words, simple yet soul searching


It goes like this:



When I was small, and christmas trees were tall, 


We used to love while others used to play. 


Don’t ask me why, but time has passed us by, 


Someone else moved in from far away.



Now we are tall, and christmas trees are small,


And you don’t ask the time of day.



But you and I, our love will never die,

But guess who’ll cry come first of may.




The apple tree that grew for you and me, 


I watched the apples falling one by one. 


And as I recall the moment of them all, 


The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.




Now we are tall, and christmas trees are small, 


And you don’t ask the time of day. 


But you and I, our love will never die, 


But guess who’ll cry come first of may.



When I was small, and christmas trees were tall,




Do do do do do do do do do ...


Don’t ask me why, but time has passed us by, 


Someone else moved in from far away.




Life is Fragile, so says fellow blogger DAWN O'BRIEN.


She says:



Enjoy Your Teenage Years


While You Are Young


They Go Real Fast


And Don't Seem To Last


Here Today


And Gone Tomorrow


Life is Fragile


Here To Borrow


Make The Most


of Every Opportunity


That Comes Your Way


Thank God


Your Alive


Another Day!


Let us not fritter away this very moment,


While we are still breathing and kicking and in sound health of body and mind,


LET US CELEBRATE LIFE ...


GIVE LIFE OUR BEST SHOT,


TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY,


YES, TOMORROW CAN BE BETTER,


But for now,


LET US REJOICE IN THE SPIRIT OF THIS MOMENT!


Here's the soulful touching song FIRST OF MAY performed by seasoned players LULU and MAURICE GIBB. LULU is still very much "enjoying the moments" but MAURICE has passed on.
