Ten Years Gone By 2

Ten years went by
I didn’t even notice
Just been living one day at a time
Then it was two more
Time sure does fly
Is it even a thing?
Who knows?
Maybe if I learn the theory of the strings
In all this time
Ten years plus two
Look what has happened
So much to describe
My feelings about it
I’ve been trying to transcribe
In these words
Is really the best I did decide
How ten years
And 2 more
Can feel like just a few days
Filled with things too many to say
Felt the way we are meant
To the other worlds I went
Felt love
Heaven sent
In these years I continue to feel the same
Happy, grateful, really glad I came
That I showed up for this life
That Earth was my home at birth
Grateful I made it back from that night so fateful
And when I drove home from the desert I was thankful
Aside from that
I would not trade what I did
Left town to no longer be a kid
To become more than a man
To become me
And live in me peacefully
Honor thyself
Love thy neighbor
As your brother
It was simple all I did discover
In the years back then
Now two more then ten
To love is life’s certainty
In it we live in eternity
So years matter not
Even ten times twenty
I wish to do it gently
But love fiercely
Like the fire of life inside of me
I promise this to thee
And I promise me
Most importantly
To be love
For that is what I am meant to be
