The years have passed by

In the blink of an eye

Moments of sadness

And joy have flown by


People I loved

Have come and have gone

But the world never stopped

And we all carried on


Life wasnt easy

And the struggles were there

Filled with times that it mattered

Times I just didn't care


I stood on my own

And I still found my way

Through some nights filled with tears

And the dawn of new days


And now with old age

It's become very clear

Things I once found important

Were not why I was here


And how many things 

That I managed to buy

Were never what made me

Feel better inside


And the worries and fears

That plagued me each day

In the end of it all

Would just fade away


But how much I reached out

To others when needed

Would be the true measure

Of how I succeeded


And how much I shared

Of my soul and my heart

Would ultimately be

What set me apart


And what's really important

Is my opinion of me

And whether or not

I'm the best I can be


And how much more kindness

And love I can show

Before the Lord tells me

It's my time to go
