The Life You Lived

People change
Time passes us by
Moving on
As a brook flows down stream
Towards the ocean
Unknown

Life moves slowly
Yet looking back, where did it all go?
Seems the same
Yet totally different somehow

No one knows what is around the bend
Trust fully in God
Cause you are just along for the ride
Enjoy it while you can
Make the most of opportunities present
In the blink of an eye
It could be taken away from you
In an instant

Don't waste your life
Make your mark,
an impression
Wherever you may go
How will people remember you
When you're gone?
