The past didn’t last !
It’s Now — and, how ?
Days sped by; that’s no lie.
Remember ? Yes, I try.
Spring, summer, fall,
and winter came to all.
Weather got colder; everyone got older.
Some days of rain; someone will complain.
Coming, going, sometimes knowing.
Remember: keep on growing.
Need for learning keeps returning.
Got a brain in my head, that’s what Mama said.
Don’t forget to pray, I did hear Dad say.
God in Heaven sees everything, that’s true.
He loves us, too — that’s me and you.
Faith means we believe — forgiveness receive !
Sing “Jesus loves me this I know,
for the Bible tells me so.”
Now, is it time for changing ?
Want to do rearranging ?
Forgetting can bring stress;
I gotta do my best.
Stuff happens all the time,
That kind of mountain I CAN climb.
