~~Once~~

*********************************************

******************************

Once I could reach the farthest star

And gather moonbeams in a jar

 

I walked out on the milky way

And troubles seemed so far away

 

The grand celestial night so deep

Was where I lay my head to sleep

 

Creeping age now steals it seems

My hopes and all my deepest dreams

 

Like phantoms, one by one they’re gone

Into the mist as time moves on

 

As we journey along our way

Be alert, lest you lose your way

 

Always try your best to stay

In the present time.., today

 

The past we knew is done

It sailed out with the setting sun

 

And when this day’s time is run

And a new day has begun

In  the bright light of it’s new sun

Smile, laugh, and celebrate this new chance to be alive.
