Time never stands still it continues to move Too soon another year has come and gone We all pray that the future will only improve Each day is a gift brought by the early dawnWhen younger I would celebrate the new As I grew wiser I would celebrate the old Now I celebrate without any of the brew And each moment is valuable as pure goldI crossed a lot of bridges and burned a few Navigating the nuances of everyday life Being a smart assed rebel without a clue Until they split me with that surgical knifeI am trying to snowplow the downward slope Trying to slow that race to the end of time Each breath gives me a new desire and hope Though the body is weak my mind is primeMy old desires and new dreams continue to fly My pleasure and my pride comes from living Living is sharing and on life I can get high No more a spectator, I must continue giving ..........
