Poem
There was a time When life seemed so kind I was young – full of light Energetic, sparkling, alive Shining like the morning Sunlight on my heart Joy in my thoughts There was a time When I was so confidant Nothing seemed unsure Life was never a burden Everything felt fresh and new My heart and soul – my dreams Were filled with tender faith There was a time When I didn’t hurt or whine My life felt just right Nothing brought me fear, a tear The worry that destroys, Darkening the moments, discouraging Saddening and worrying There was a time When I was young – in my prime I didn’t know the meaning of pain Heartbreak was a fleeting thing Dreams were new and alive Filled with laughter – sweet smiles Compassion that restores, revives There was a time When I didn’t let the past interfere With my ambitions, my peace, My desires and feelings When all my life was filled with promises The future was sure, a confirmation That my hopes were being satisfied There was a time When I was so young – in my prime That time has past and today I look for ways to thank the One Who makes a way for my heart and soul To touch on the joy of His glory The wonder of His peace and love There was a time Yes, there was a time But the time has come and gone And, still, I linger on… Awaiting that heavenly home Where I will meet the beautiful Son Who sits beside God’s throne There was a time… Yes, there was a time! Read Ecclesiastes 12 from God’s word
