For Now

I wish I were younger...

When the sky was blue

and the sun was light

and the grass was green

and the moon was night

When 'gone' was short

and home was here

and help was close

and friends were near

When right was right

and wrong was wrong

and trust was true

and love was strong

But I know I've moved on...

With pensive steps

and choices made

and doubtful dreams

and decisions laid

With life before

and hurt behind

and lines so blurred

and eyes so blind

And with nothing of mine...

But a broken heart

and a mind unbold

and a Lord to trust

and a Hand to hold

I know I can proceed...
