Today, I share with you a piece that I composed in 1998. I was in my mid twenties and preparing for a lot of big life changes; marriage, newly built home, life-threatening heart surgery for my Father and new challenges at work. It was a year full and rich in many ways but deep with emotional struggles as well. It was definitely a year filled with many life lessons. See what you think. Can you relate to feeling this way at some points in your life?
AGE
Sophistication, Wisdom, Power, Strength . . .
Fear, Reality, Helplessness, Loneliness . . .
We look forward to it until we reach it.
We enjoy it until we see the reality of it.
It comes so quickly to meet us.
It steps in the door before it knocks.
What happened? Not so fast! Where did it go?
The time, the youth . . . yesterday.
We wanted to be big. We wanted to drive.
We wanted to go out on our own. We wanted to get married.
We wanted to have a family. We wanted. We wanted . . .
But not anymore.
Now we want it all back.
To cherish, to treasure, to have it all over again.
If you are not here yet.
You get a second chance.
Make it your miracle.
