Backward turn backward ...

A beautiful sunny May morning in Ohio, and in just a glance, I was taken back many, many years. Across from us, here in the apartments, we have some young ladies living, and attending our local Ohio State branch college.   Their car just pulled in, and three young ladies, casually dressed, backpacks on their backs, got out of the car and went in to the apartment. They seemed carefree, with nothing on their minds, and a whole world ahead of them.

In an instant, I was taken back to my college days. I should have been more serious then, but life was too good. I could relate to how those young ladies were feeling. The weather is grand, the sun is shining and the future looks rosy.

Backward turn backward, oh time in thy flight......
