Time goes fast, the years fly by,

I’ve turned older and grayer in the blink of an eye.

The memories of laughter with family and friends

are etched in my brain where the loop never ends.

The tracks play over, and I love to recall,

the places of beauty, the joy of it all.

We’re all blessed with memories, but we don’t recognize

the times we are building when we don’t realize

that happiness is easily replaced with sorrow

that our laughter today just might end tomorrow.

Difficult times are sure to arise,

struggles will happen and should be no surprise.

We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow or today

But we will get through them, and we will walk away.

Maybe bruised or scarred but not fully broken,

we are told we are His; no better words were spoken.

Take heart and have faith that your joy is complete

when you trust in the One whom death could not defeat.
