So today I'm given another day
Reflections of past
That will not go away
Almost three years
Seems like forever
And the trail of tears
Has disappeared into a vapor
Grass is still green
And blue is still true
Thoughts of the past
Of things unwilling to last
Garner themselves
Tucked away inside
Hidden from view
Today, I thank the Lord
Hath given me another day
Shared in his plan
And some say
Twas never meant
For me to understand
Still, the water flows
Down this stream called life
I capture this moment to memory
Constant, changing,...everlasting
