Time Moves Slowly

Time moves slowly,
and changes come fast,
each birth, death,
nothing forever last.

Learning to cope,
sometimes hard to do,
trying to fit in,
that is all you can do.

Streets once traveled,
now silent from your steps,
yesterday made sweet laughter,
now only tears are left.

Family now distant,
hearts left all alone,
quietened by anger,
wondering who was wrong.

Time moves slowly,
and changes come fast,
each birth, death,
nothing forever last.

There is much truth in your words, Christy. Time creeps forward, even when we are dwelling on past mistakes. Wish every family could reunite after reading this poem. It matters not who was right or wrong. No loving hearts should be "left all alone." Beautiful work! Love, Carolyn

Christy my heart goes out to you, you have gone through so much and it has to be hard. I admire your strength and courage through it all. I can't do much on this end but hold you and your family up in prayer. You are well known and loved in our little country town of Leakey. Stay strong in all of God's word and these storms shall pass, God Bless, your friend forever, Ron
