“GROWING OLDER IS PART OF GOD’S PLAN”

You can’t hold back the dawn,
Or stop the tides from flowing,
Or keep a rose from withering,
Or still a wind that’s blowing.
And time cannot be halted
in its swift and endless flight.
For age is sure to follow youth
like day comes after night.
For He who sets our span of years
and watches from above,
Replaces youth and beauty
with peace and truth and love.
And then our souls are privileged
to see a hidden treasure,
That in our youth escaped our eyes
in our pursuit of pleasure.
So birthdays are but blessings
that open up the way
To the everlasting beauty
of God’s eternal day.
