Time Moves Fast

Time moves fast, blink and the years just collide,

Future's ahead, but the past keeps a hold on my mind,

Trying to push forward, chase the light, reach new heights,

But the memories flash, they shine ever so bright.

I used to think "forever" stretched out, an endless expanse,

Now the calendar flips, like a quick, frenzied dance,

Minutes turn to hours, hours into days,

Blur of seasons shifting, in so many different ways,

Remember laughter echo, from good old times,

Sun-drenched memories, like sweet, melodic rhymes,

I had many good days, thank the Lord for his light,

Shining through the shadows, making everything right,

But the future's a magnet, pulling me to what's next,

Still, my mind drifts back, reading old love letters in texts,

It's a delicate balance, this present, future, and past,

Trying to hold steady, while the moments fly so fast.

And it wasn't always smooth, the road got rough too,

Faced my share of struggles, had some mountains to get through,

Felt the weight of the world, on these weary shoulders,

Learned to stand my ground, grew tougher, bolder,

But I'm here, I'm alive, I'm well, and I'm breathing,

A pure gift from above, for every day I'm receiving,

So I pray for long life, blessed, healthy, full of grace,

Leaving impact, leaving smiles on every face,

A life that though I'm a sinner, with my flaws on display,

Somehow still pleases God, every single passing day.

To walk in His favor, with a purpose divine,

And when my journey's over, heaven truly is mine,

That's the number one prayer, for myself and my crew,

Every single loved one, every dream seen through.

And I pray that for everyone, under the sky so wide,

May you find your blessing, with God right by your side,

Time moves fast... remember the past... focus on what's next...

But gratitude first... thank the Most High... for every single breath.
