IN THE COURSE OF A LIFETIME


 Born we are, each of us with a purpose unless 
 Altered,

 Nothing stops what we do depending on anything in 
 Our way.

 We see so much with these eyes of mystery given from 
 the master,

 What about those without sight, is there a gift that 
 Comes from here.

 Nothing taken for granted when you never saw what you 
 Are missing,

 You now see with your heart and mind, this is what 
 Challenges your time.

 We travel a thousand roads trying to choose the best  
 Way to go, we don't know,

 Decisions of intelligence, luck along the way, a prayer 
 Of hope and we may be okay.

 In the course of a lifetime, we pass each other by,  
 Shake hands, laugh, And say goodbye,
