THE GIFT OF TODAY




I walk slower now, it’s certain...
No more need to hurry,
For where is it I’m headed now….
If not the lonely grave.

My thoughts, I find, they wander back,
Some place called yesteryear;
I see a young girl singing there...
I’ve long forgot the song.

I see the path she travels on...
I scream… “Do not go there!”
I see the jagged stone ahead...
The path to her unseen.

My thoughts return reality...
Still no need to hurry.
I take a look down at my feet….
I feel the need to run.

I want to catch the fleeting time…
Cause today to linger,
And as I view the path I took…
I see God’s plan within.

I reach to savor moments now…
Not grasp large clumps of time.
Each golden sunrise, clutch to me…
For I see tomorrow.
