\u00a0<\/strong>Hit a few pot holes today\u2026<\/h6>\n
Sat down, I was too tired to play\u2026<\/h6>\n
This road is long and rocky not made of clay\u2026<\/h6>\n
I love rocking chairs\u2026<\/h6>\n
I can rock for hours and stare\u2026<\/h6>\n
Thinking on things long past, that won\u2019t get me anywhere<\/h6>\n
But gives me somethin\u2019 to do\u2026<\/h6>\n
How \u2018bout you?<\/h6>\n
You been walking long on this difficult road?<\/h6>\n
Well looks like we got somethin\u2019 to talk about, lighten the load\u2026<\/h6>\n
What\u2019s that you say\u2026we got all day\u2026yep\u2026we do.<\/h6>\n
I used to do anything I wanted and never get tired\u2026<\/h6>\n
But it\u2019s kinda funny how miles slip away from ya\u2026you know what I mean? Like living on a tight wire\u2026if you aren\u2019t careful you fall off, and land like a deflated tire\u2026<\/h6>\n
I guess that\u2019s how it\u2019s supposed to be, living hard and running free\u2026<\/h6>\n
Now, we got all the time in the world\u2026<\/h6>\n
Children living their own lives\u2026doing the same things we did, not asking why\u2026<\/h6>\n
Life is full and excit\u2019n, gotta live while ya can\u2026dying will come soon enough\u2026<\/h6>\n
They don\u2019t have time to think about such stuff\u2026<\/h6>\n
Life slows down, body gets weak, time for living isn\u2019t for the meek\u2026<\/h6>\n
Now I\u2019m not trying to sound weary and bleak\u2026<\/h6>\n
I\u2019m just a resting here in this here seat\u2026<\/h6>\n
Reflect\u2019n on days gone by\u2026<\/h6>\n
Be gone soon enough\u2026<\/h6>\n
And that\u2019s OK\u2026life was full and sometimes sweet, I traveled it my way\u2026<\/h6>\n
The thing I really want to say,<\/h6>\n
Is,<\/h6>\n
Make your life count while you\u2019re living here\u2026<\/h6>\n
Love and dance and sing and cheer\u2026<\/h6>\n
When youth is gone and you\u2019re rocking in your rocking chair\u2026<\/h6>\n
Remember me with thoughts and hold me dear\u2026<\/h6>\n
I\u2019ll be singing in the atmosphere\u2026in heaven\u2019s home way up there\u2026<\/h6>\n
Living, really living.<\/h6>\n
The door swings open and newborns arrive \u2026grow up and have babes of their own\u2026<\/h6>\n
The gray hairs sit and rock, as life on earth draws nigh, soon they\u2019ll say goodbye\u2026<\/h6>\n
What\u2019s waiting on the other side, yet to be seen\u2026?<\/h6>\n
Here\u2019d tell of golden streets and gates of pearl\u2026choirs of angels singing\u2026<\/h6>\n
I\u2019ll lay me down in blessed sleep I hear the bells a ringing\u2026<\/h6>\n
Life goes on and it will tell what others will be bringing\u2026<\/h6>\n
Left behind their legacy, hoping loved ones left will see\u2026<\/h6>\n
Life don\u2019t mean nothin\u2019 if Jesus doesn\u2019t live inside of thee<\/h6>\n
You\u2019ll have good days and bad days and things you won\u2019t understand<\/h6>\n
It won\u2019t do no good to ask why?<\/h6>\n
You\u2019ll wring your hands and scream and cry and sometimes want to die\u2026<\/h6>\n
But if you will open the Holy Book and read the words that are written<\/h6>\n
Wisdom will be your dearest friend and will give you all your seek\u2019n\u2026<\/h6>\n
Life isn\u2019t for wimps\u2026you\u2019ve been given a task\u2026<\/h6>\n
Look to the Lord is all I ask\u2026<\/h6>\n
I\u2019ll see ya on the other side!<\/h6>\n
~M.S. O\u2019Neill December 28, 2017<\/h6>\n
James 1:5-7 New International Version (NIV) <\/em><\/strong>If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. <\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
