Swiftly Passing

Swiftly passing are the days,

Sun up, sun down again, again.

The world around, we're spinning round.
I watch them move-
They pedal fast, they run like mad, they race
To the finish line!

The gift of a day is sometimes lost on us;
We scoff,
Ignore how important it all is,
Even deny it.

Wake up! The sun has risen!
See that beauty? 

The work of busy hands should be regarded
As such.
Living can be so hard, but it can be so simple. 

I want to look at the clouds.
Sometimes that is fine,
But learning the art of being content?
Knowing the goodness of the clouds?
Thanking the Creator for all of it?

I have some growing up to do. 

How can a child have children?
The mysteries of life...this is but one. 

How can I show them the way to go
When I stumble along myself,
Unsure of my path? 

I'll look up!

The sun is rising again-

Tomorrow is a new day!
Generous Lord, your presents we receive! 

Love and colors and baseball.

It's too much,
Isn't it?

Sometimes the world stops spinning.
I'll stand in this moment 

And just try to take it in.

I'll try.
