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.
