As Years and Life Thus Ever Onward Flow
As Years And Life Thus Ever Onward Flow
Time's wheel grinds ever so finely with ease
Its purpose oft mysteriously deep
As moon-tide's pull stirs magnificent seas
Dare we pray for love and peace in our sleep?
Ever so slowly but surely wheel spins
Without a whispering creak or loud moan
Do we pray forgiveness for mortal sins
Such leeway disappears when we are gone.
It hums in tune to invisible clock
Tho' its revolutions we try to slow
In dark midnight hours we hear its tick-tock
From that very first breath older we grow.
As years and life thus ever onward flow
This world teaches us Fate's hand has it way
Do we ever learn we are not its show
And thus seek to prepare for judgement day.
Time's wheel grinds ever so finely with ease
Its purpose oft mysteriously deep
As moon-tide's pull stirs magnificent seas
Dare we pray for love and peace in our sleep?
