Seventy years, maybe eighty -

just a blink in eternity.

So little time left -

ten years, maybe twenty.

Could be less.

Could be more.

 

How do I spend the rest of my days?

Loving You,

enjoying all You have given -

creation, family, friends, health,

divine encounters, Your precious presence.

 

Don't want to miss any of it.

Don't want to take any of it for granted.

Want to appreciate all of it,

every drop.

Want to spend every moment mindful of You.

Want to die with a heart full of wisdom and worship.

Want to live that way too!

 

A song in my heart,

a smile on my lips,

open arms and eyes,

always looking up no matter how far down I am.
