As I gaze at the beautiful Destin dunes with sea grass blowing in the brisk cool autumn breeze

It brings to mind just how fast things go by in life, to me anyway, it seems

Yesterday I was holding our new born child for the first time in my  arms

Then today she is grown with children of her own running in our front yard

It was only last week I think, when I took my bride to be

Now this week it’s been forty eight years that she has been putting up with me

Things in life change so fast it seems, faster than you can stop and think

Like the deserted Gulf Coast of Florida, that has all but disappeared in just a blink

I sure hope what I’m seeing today doesn’t go away over night like my child did so soon

I hope if I return next year or in ten, I will still be able to see the Destin dunes

From My World To Yours,
