One thousand years becomes one day
One last hurrah, one last hooray

We live our life by what we know
This passing time should help us grow

God watches us along our route
To see if we live by our truth

Some die too young, we all agree
But what we are, is all we see

We're judged by time spent in each day
To help or hurt, it's all our way

We can't control a thousand years
But faith and love can fold our fears

This life we live is made of choice
Rise up first day, to just rejoice

You'll love some words which sound so dear
'Good will to all, happy new year'

And now I'll say farewell to all
Please frame this work, our curtain call

"Please frame this work, our curtain call."  You know, Roger, one of the nicest birthday presents I got this year was a framed poem from a very dear friend...and how well this suits the thought...thank you for sharing!

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

What a great poem!
It flowed so well, and
the last stanza was great.
(which i know you have
been hearing frequently
but trust me it is the truth)
Great job,
to the library it goes!
