Time
Where do you disapear to?
I believe we all want to ask you ...
Why you never stays for a while, you always just flutter by
as if your wings never need a pause...
After graduating from high school I went on a whirl wind of adventures
Graduation...
Family....
Bahamas...
the Flu...
Tahoe....
Mexico...
Woodleaf.....
Home...
School....
Work....
Only to find out that it is September 28th today and
my baby sister is now 12 years old.
I dont remember much of her as an infant or a toddler
but I do remember that the last time I blinked she was turning 11 and
I bought her Happy 10th Birthday card because in my mind
she was frozen at 9.
It makes me cry to think of how time has disappeared right from my eyes.
I fear one day as a parent I will blink one too many times
I fear one day as a parent I will blink one too many times
and my little girl will be off to college
and be a young woman just like her mother.
I dont fear her becoming me
because I know she will be a bright
and beautiful young girl
but I fear that she to will close her eyes too hard one night
and she will be turning her tassel and waving into the crowd
at me in the stands cheering her on
before she even learns how to walk.
I pray for each of my loved ones, near and far,
to pause and looked at who and what surrounds us
before we close our eyes a little too tight
and another year goes by.
I ask God to give us
appreciation for these miracles we hold in hearts everyday,
humbleness for our blessings,
strength for our sorrow in the speed of time,
&
open arms to those who are lost and
need your help to heal before time escapes them,
In the name of Jesus Christ
AMEN
AMEN
I ask that we all take this time to pray for not only ourselves but
every life that has crossed our eyes, even if it is in just a short passing.
Good Night :)
Good Night :)
