I didn't notice the first fallen leaf.
I didn't notice the geese starting to fly south.
I didn't notice the hours getting shorter.
I didn't notice your hair starting to change color.
I didn't notice that you didn't notice me.
I didn't notice the memories slipping away.
I didn't notice the first fallen leaf.
If you have your own 55 please post and share, but check in with the G-Man at Mr. KnowItAll...if you dare!

that's kind of sad :o( great 55. i'm up at ramblings.
Can't glue the leaves back in place but the seasons of goodness always return soon enough.
Rather poignant - very touching :-)
Thank you for visiting my blog . . .
I love the leaf part but the not noticing each other is quite sad. Autumn life doesn't have to be that way. Very well written 55 Lulda. x
this is full of pathos! but wonderfully done!
oh lulda that is such a poignant piece of poetry. it took my breath away.
This is very moving. The aging process can be so hard to watch.
Yes, such are the tides of time. They move without us noticing.
