Time is going by fast, Trying not to live in the past, To keep priorities straight And not falter at the gate. To join the universal goal

It is what it is Despite my wishes for it, Otherwise. You are who you are Despite my expectations,

A path with heart Is full of love Which makes us right Brings in the light And chases the dark.

Not sure where we are headed, Could be a long ride, Keep your heart steady, Open wide your eyes. There is something to learn

Thoughts flicker like twinkling lights, ride them across the sky. Embrace your dream,

Red bird perched on a tree limb laced with snow. So happy to see him and the joy he brings.
