Years roll by with lessons learned,

The script plays out with experience earned.

Memories dazzle like gifts we hold,

Illuminating minds as scenes unfold.

Time won’t yield for any tears,

Pulling us through all faith and fears.

Looking back on what has been,

Proves to be the greatest sin.

Finding one who redeems the time,

Makes the past and present rhyme.

Life is who you love, not who you know.

Life is holding on, life is letting go.

-Tom Wise
