My Past, Present And Future

Remember my past now way back
many times felt divine protection
helped me overcome so often
when words were hard to mention

My working life was good and bad
filled with joy and struggles within
warehouse work was my real McCoy
learning the facts brings a happy grin

I enjoy my present life most of all
in retirement, one loves to relax
doing what brings peace and calm
fulfillment felt to the max

No one knows what lies ahead
the future is beyond us all
but thanks be to God He knows
trust in the Lord and His bread

Keep looking to the Lord
makes my future safe and secure
a future that God will bring
for He has the heavenly cure!

(This is written to incorporate the past, present, and future of my life and draw out the highs and lows that made it all it come to be and what's to come. )
