Why are the best things Out of Date?

​​
OUT OF DATE
 
We only ever truly appreciate
something, when it’s over.
It is when we look back
that we get a sense
of what was there.
And what has now gone.
 
So, in the midst of all events
we remember that
we cannot see the full value.
We cannot see all that is there.
It is only when it is gone,
that we can fully appreciate it all.
