Don't
blink. Just
like that you're six
years old
and you take a
nap and
you wake up
and you're
twenty-five
and your high school
sweetheart
becomes
your wife.
Don't
blink,
you just
might miss
your babies
growing like mine did. Turning
into moms
and dads
next thing
you know,
your better
half of fifty
years is there
in bed and you're praying
God takes
you instead.
Trust me friend, a hundred
years goes
faster than
you think,
so don't blink.
