Life Changes

Each day of your life,
From your birth until your death,
A special gift was given to you -
That came only from God.

It's a gift that is given freely,
To show how much He cared.
It's a love that is, passed on to others,
Only to be shared.

Time passes by so swiftly;
In a twinkling of an eye.
Remember you may not be here
To say, "I Love You," or even
Have the time to say, "Goodbye."

Often we take life for granted
And then it's too late.
You regret the bad things that have
Caused friction and led you to hate.

As a child, you are nurtured
By your parents; as you were growing up.
Kisses and hugs were given as you
Stumbled, fell, and gave your self a bump.

Time stands still for no one and
Life, sometimes, takes a rough turn.
Now, hugs and kisses are given
To your ailing parents, as your broken heart
Breaks and starts to yearn.

The past and the future adds
To the love you both have embraced.
It's a free gift given
To all the human race.

When life is over and
It's time to go to our Redeemer,
You thank God that He gave you
The strength to face every stormy sea.

Take time to smell the roses and
Show the world that you were all
That You were meant to be.
