When I was just a baby
and life was not so hard,
the time would pass so slowly
as we played out in the yard.
Our lives would last forever
nothing bad would come,
ice cream, sweets and pig tails
and playing games with mum.
But Nowadays it's different
many years have gone,
and many things have happened
since the day that I was born.
The time just flies right by me
days to weeks to years,
people come and people go
with stories and some tears.
As we live we can't avoid
loneliness and pain,
but would we love the summer sun
without first tasting rain?
Who knows what's in the future
will there be more pain?
I'm glad I have my Jesus here
to keep me well and sane.
