If my world should end tomorrow,
and the book of days be closed…
If I had but one last chance to look upon
the paths I chose…
I’d look back upon my journey,
see my life within it play…
I would know as I know now…
I had great love along the way…

As a child, I felt the passion,
living by the changing sea…
Where I learned to love all nature…
It became a part of me…
Running free with young emotion,
love unbridled…filled with youth…
Innocent and undiscovered…
Where the beauty lies in truth…

I saw love as a young mother,
holding babies on her arm…
In the eyes that looked up to me,
love was there in tender charm…
I knew love was still inside me,
on the day life fell apart…
Only love could cause the breaking,
of that young wife’s aching heart…

Many years I wandered, lonely…
Tried it all, and walked away…
Left some love undone behind me,
knowing I could never stay…
Now I see that love was with me,
though I tried to shut it out…
And the lovers I remember,
taught me what love’s all about…

Then without my even knowing,
true love paid my life a call…
Opened up my heart’s closed windows,
held me up, so I could fall…
Love was there on that bright morning,
when two lives became as one…
And it tied our hearts together…
Twenty years, and we’re not done!

So, I cherish all my journeys,
and I keep the lessons learned…
And I hold onto the special love,
for which I always yearned…
If I had but one tomorrow,
spent on looking back this way…
I would smile, for I see now,
I had great love along the way…

Yes.....this is for us girls, and as I know many of us can relate to some of it, or all of it......and that is sharing, right ladies?

Yes.....it has been a long trail, and like Jerry Garcia once said, 'a strange trip', but looking back has given me countless hours of love and laughter!! Thanks!!
