Where Have The Years Gone

Where have the years gone I can't trace their flight

Like whispers in shadows lost in the night

Lessons I've carried like stones in my hand

Each one a story a place where I stand

Living through laughter and tears in my chest

The struggle the beauty the trials I confessed

Loving in moments that slip through my fist

Time's a thief painting memories with its twist

Where have the years gone they danced into air

Shaping my spirit with love and despair

I am the echoes of all I've embraced

The clock keeps spinning but I've not been erased

Life taught me silence is louder than sound

And love sometimes stings before comfort is found

Yet I keep walking on paths I create

Through joy and through sorrow through wonder and weight

I’ve fallen I’ve risen I’ve broken I’ve healed

Time’s been a canvas and I am revealed

The faces I’ve cherished the hands I have held

All part of the story my heart cannot quelled

Living and loving through chapters unknown

Each step a new lesson through seeds I have sown

The years may keep running but here I remain

Wrapped in the beauty of all joy and pain
