Each year follows another

Memories flowing downhill

Some filled with only sadness

Others sketched with joyful thrills

Another sunrise knocking

“Father Time” never slows down

Blessed to be alive, Amen!

One more day, praises go round

Sometimes days feel like winter

Overwhelmed with sky of gray

Other days waken to spring

Youthfulness wanting to play

Daily lessons in patience

Treasures come from smallest gifts

Appetite filled with sweetness

Road ahead, free of snowdrifts

Sunset wraps up one more day

Nightly dreams forever seek

Thankful for every blessing

Journey’s perseverance speaks
