PASSING TIME

As I lay staring at the sky With memories of days gone by The fleecy clouds high overhead, Drifted by like passing dead

Then looking at the trees around As I lay there on the ground, Some strong and towering like the oak, Others old and gnarled with limbs that broke

I was reminded of the life of man And knew that it was all God's plan The signs are put here on this earth For us to follow from time of birth.

The four seasons tell us what is due, In the spring all things are new, Summer is the growing phase, With shorter nights and longer days.

Next comes fall...a time to reap. Discard the bad...the good things keep. Then comes the winter of our lives, The growing time is past... At this time we must ask ourselves, "Have I held on to things that last?"

by Lorene Critchfield May 8, 1992
