Thought I'd something more
to say as another day passes
away and I think about all of
the loves that have come and
gone leaving tracks across my
heart and some leaving
memories some of which I
want no part.

Every year is getting shorter
and the seasons come and go
so much faster but I know it
isn't just me and that every
one ages and everybody turns
those pages and so many of
those memories fade away
and each day it seems like
I have less to say.

Sometimes it is the little things
that matter and those few kind
words that a few may speak
and those few precious moments
that we choose to keep forever
in our minds as we ride out those
final years of this grind that we
call life.

Every day that I wake up to
a new sunrise I am grateful to just
be alive and so happy that I was
able to survive so long as I have
but I still can't help but be a little
sad that I let the years slip by me
so fast and all I can do now is
live from day to day hoping
that I can find something more
to say.
