Time passes freely as we look back on the things we have turned down, the things we have left behind. Time is like a dark endless hole; Time is like a nugget of the finest gold, only time was never meant for man to hold. With time we are forever growing. Wishing I had spent more time with you mom.” Love, Rosa Fairley
