Sometimes when life gets put on hold
From aches and pains of growing old,
I take some time to reminisce,
And think about the ones I miss.
Those special people I have known
Who shaped my life before I’d grown.
My parents, teachers, pastors, friends
Helped show me life seen through their lens.
So many folks no longer here,
Their memories I still hold dear.
When I grew up, I moved around.
I’ve traveled some, seen foreign towns.
The different places, people there
Have stretched my mind, I’m more aware
Conditions vary place to place,
But all still need God’s love and grace.
