As the years roll up behind me
All the things I think I know
Fade into the passing time
As on my way I go.
As the writer said long years before
There's nothing new to see,
What's happened on this spinning earth
Again will someday be.
You'd think we'd learn from what we've done,
Mistakes no more repeat,
But, often it's just wishes
That go down in defeat.
Wisdom comes along the way
To those who give it heed
It serves us well if we but hear
It's voice in time of need.
Passing time has made me gray
And wrinkled up my face
But, I'm still here and learning
Simply by God's grace.
