The montage of your history, the best and worst that life can bring,
Stretches back so very far, you can’t remember everything.
The minutes strung together trace your journey throughout time,
Surviving past inclement skies to journey thru fairweather's clime.
Here a bit of happiness, there some sadness seen, it's true,
As time unwinds its' magic cord, to show what life has given you.
Beloved hours, cherished days, shiny pearls upon a string,
Revealing past and future joined together, by precious moments in-between!
Dark times painted with regret are streaked with gladness' shining tears,
As 'round the edges hope peeks thru, mixed with half-remembered fears.
So gratefully you hold the moment, feel bitter-sweetness for awhile,
Knowing that, despite some strains, your heart is whole--you still can smile.
