Memories captured as time flies by,

years roll past in the blink of an eye.

Birthdays, anniversaries, vacations and such,

the times we remember will mean so much

to our aging brains as we try to recall

the times in our lives; good, bad, and all.

Some marry, have children and watch family grow,

others stay single and go with the flow.

Success in life depends on intent,

I must make up my mind to be content

with what I have and how I live,

with my gifts in life and what I give.

I am wonderfully created and fearfully made,

I should be bold and courageous and be not afraid.  

The time will come to look back at my life;

did I love and share joy or instead cause strife

to those in my circle, who crossed my path;

did my actions cause happiness or an aftermath?

I choose life and joy, I choose Christ the Son.

At the end of my life, may I hear “Well done”.
