Decade

There were times I thought I needed less aid
but so much can happen in a decade.
After I became a half century year old
so tired of waiting for my life to unfold
my mid life crisis about took its toll,
as I held on to my mind, heart, and soul.
I kept my journal for many reasons in rhymes
in case I ever forgot about the good times
or needed a reminder of the lessons learned.
Salvation is a great gift that cannot be earned
Decades in a lifetime are relatively few
most of us have mistakes we would like to undo.
To some six is too many and others nine is fine
Lord help me live for you until the end of the line
