You went Fast & Furious.
People come into our lives we know not what the reason
An hour, a day, a week, a month, or even for a season
They touch our lives in many ways and open many doors
And sometimes we never know what the reasons for.
Some bring joy and some bring pain and some even love
And from some we even feel the touch of God above
Some get us asking for the reasons we are here
Some just open our eyes and expose us to our fears.
Some open our eyes to who we really are
Some make us look at ourselves standing from afar
Some make us happy and some even cry
Some just make us ask ourselves for reasons why.
Some touches are so brief we forget that they were there
But the ones that stay the longest are the ones who really care
And some of them you need more than they need you
And others are the ones to help to see you through.
And sometimes we get lucky and find that special one
The one who'll always be there until our days are done
Those are the ones we cherish most and show we really care
The ones who know we love them and know we're always there.
These are the ones we nourish and slowly bring along
The ones that make us happy and fill our hearts with song
The ones that will listen to what we have to say
The ones whose presence we need each and every day.
The ones who mean the most to us with each passing day
The ones we try to please the most in each and every way
The ones that we will give whatever we have to give
The ones who will always give us the reasons that we need to live.
And so I know when our days are done and our lives are through
And we stand before our God I know what he will do
He'll look at the people we have touched and touched us in turn
To see the lessons we have given and the lessons we have learned.
He'll look at the love we've given and the love we have received
At the people we have trusted and the people we deceived
At everything we have done for people on our way
At all the things we didn't hear or didn't try to say.
So when we stand in His judgement and he looks into our soul
And puts our lives in perspective and sees it at it's whole
And i know the first place that He is going to start
Is to look at the footprints etched upon our heart.
For each person that we touch and touches us in turn
For each lesson given and each lesson learned
Leaves a little footprint etched upon our heart
And it's these little footprints that sets us all apart.
So as you go through your life and with each passing day
Be loving to those people that you pass along the way
And where you left footprints hope that God will see
That we turned out to be the person He intend us to be.
And TF&F, you went through our lives real fast, but your tiny feet have left in our hearts indelible foot prints.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases;
It will never pass into nothingness;
But still will keep a bower quiet for us,
and a sleep full of sweet dreams,
and health, and quiet breathing. - Keats
>>>>>>>In life,there are three classes of people,
1. Those who make things happen,
2. Those who watch things happen
3. And those who ask what happened.
Where do you fall?
