1959
We were all eager and young with our unlimited dreams
Our world seemed small and each thought we understood
What it took to plan our lives and how to work our schemes
Then everything seemed fresh, clear and surely all good
Before long our different lives marched at a very new pace
Marriage, college, military, other careers introduced us to work
The sweet breath of babies whispered in our concerned face
Bills and kids school activities introduced us to 24/7 real work
Phone calls tell of family and classmates who breathed their last
Our kids left home and before long those special grandchildren came
Funny how God directs this ever changing world stage life cast
Some marriages dissolved and each knew they were not to blame
Today we start to faintly hear that not so distant Heavenly choir sing
Pills and bills continually fill our mostly silent and mostly empty space
Late at night we secretly wonder what the next late night call brings
Where did the years and dreams go as we prepare to complete the Race?
