Where Did All the Decades Go?

 

Where did all the decades go?

Time is quickly traveling on.

We're born, we play, we love, we learn

And then, too soon, all this is gone.

 

Every day we're growing older;

None escape it here on earth.

Like Springtime trees become Autumn leaves,

We all start aging right from birth.

 

Time is like a railroad train;

A one-way ticket - no turning back.

And the prayer of every passenger

Is to stay securely on the track.

 

Where did all the decades go?

Just like the twinkling of an eye,

And like a bud becomes a rose,

We blossom forth; still all must die.

 

But, there's victory over fleeting time,

Anxious moments, fears and strife.

Just trusting God to lead our way

Brings decades of abundant life.
