A Lifetime

A lifetime of love begins with a single step, a journey of a thousand miles. A new experience offers a thrill and an adventure. A tiny, precious hand to hold is all grown up now. A smile when you hear those special words make your heart skip a beat.
A day at the office, a night on the town, children tucked in their beds, running errands and paying bills, time to retire for the evening, all in a day’s work.
Precious moments shared, memories made, love and laughter and an, “always”. A lifetime of grinding it, making it and shaking it, just seems to have flown by. Words left unspoken always leaves you wondering, “why.”
Rejoicing in the celebration of new life, and wondering where time went by as you say your last goodbyes. A lifetime of open arms, kisses and hugs, memories made of both young and old.
A cup of coffee, a lunchtime friend, another to go dancing, and another that has no end. Enjoy it while you are able, shine on like the morning sun. Take your dreams and fulfill them and remember your loved ones.
A lifetime of love and gratitude has almost come and gone. Sing, rejoice and be merry, for life is just a song. Don’t waste your time weeping, now dry those tears. Remember to feel your heartbeat and know that you’re alive. With each passing moment you know how precious life is.
A lifetime of struggles and hardships has gone by. Learning to live, love and trust again, all in due time. Friends with their wonderful hugs and their beautiful faces, yes a lifetime of love and laughter, you have always been there during sickness and good health.
To the treasured friendship along the way, stand up and take notice because they really aren’t that far away. It is your life story; your beginning, your middle and your end.
A new job, new boss and new friends, this is only one chapter you fill it in. Make the best of times out of the worst of times and your troubles will be few. Count your blessings daily and to yourself always be true. A lifetime of sharing and caring leaves you exhausted yet alive. This is your lifetime, a once in a lifetime, just see how the time flies.
