This beautiful words of wisdom poem
Did I impact the lives around me
the Lord’s spirit did they see?
Where did I go?
Did I expand my mind
my heart or my soul?
is the same thing I often asked myself
Your wisdom reminds me of the many things
I too reflect upon when the year has come and gone!
Stunning poetic thoughts my friend!!
Wishing you and your family health and happiness
God bless you....love and hugssss...Morning Star

Yes, where has the year gone? Along the way I think I lost my mind and am just now regaining it. So it has been a mixed bag this year with my eye on the next day ahead and not much more. Where was that path? Excellent. Liz

This past year has brought me much pain, but also much joy at the discovery of a long stiffled writing talent. I guess things balance out after all. Where has this year gone? Yesterday was the Fourth of July, it seems.

Joyce, each day on this earth is precious time that we can never call back...that's why we must beat time and make use of every moment and enjoy it as though it were our last. Time has no hour hands, they are stuck in days, months, years, gone on long before our time, and continue to pass...we must take advantage of every second we have & enjoy & give praise for the blessings we have received.

And I will continue to whisper in your ear with the voice of the mountains, the trees and the birds, to let you know that we hear your heart talking to us, and that sadness is unfounded because all of us love you and the wind will take our thoughts over the lake making ripples on the calm waters.
