Something to Think about As You Age!

 

By Walt Perryman

I am beginning to learn as my years pass by,
And trying to get closer to God, before I die.

I went to church regularly until I was about ten,
Then it was 60 years before I started going again.

I know that God has always been in my heart,
However, for sixty years we grew farther apart.

So, I believe my seed was planted many years ago,
It’s taken around 60 years for it to sprout and grow.

Yes, I know that I am on my life’s downhill slide,
With God, I’m going to enjoy the rest of my ride.
