**debris

As we grow older we understand
That some things we wanted weren’t part of God’s plan
A moment in time we’d thought would last forever
Is over, but to be forgotten, never

Time proves over and over to remain true
It allows us to see what we once never knew
How people, places, and circumstances have all changed
And what was once perfection, has now been deranged

No doubt there will be struggles, even worse than we’ve faced before
Yet through these struggles we learn what perseverance is for
The goals and game plan we once so tightly embraced
Has soon with society and greed been replaced

From this we learn we can become accountable for only ourselves
Forced to answer to the blame we once placed upon shelves
We realize to be the change in the world we wish to see
We must rid ourselves of the world’s harmful flying debris
