Thinking I’m near life’s end
My mind drifts back to days gone past
And the way things were back then.
Once again, I’m in my childhood
Loving life, happy and free–
Living life to its fullest
Reckless and wild as can be.
I loved to watch the sun come up
For it was the beginning of another day–
A day of joy, laughter and excitement,
Cause, for me, that was my way.
The friends I had were many.
Dreary days I had were few.
I lived each day on razor edge
With my luck to pull me through.
But now I sit here looking back
Wondering what I did so wrong.
I’ve relived my lifetime day by day
In the short time I’ve been gone.
And the only things of value
That have ever crossed my life
Is my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
My lovely daughters and my wife.
He leads me and He guides me
Through my life day by day.
I know He gave his life for me
And that’s a debt I can’t repay.
So I will live my life for Him
And praise Him every day
Until I look upon His face
and thank Him in person some fine day.
