    So Much To Learn-So Little Time
    I must find out just who I am
    And I must learn to live again.
    Live your own life, how simple it sounds.
    Whose life am I living? Whose setting the bounds?

    They say, live in the moment, live in the now.
    That sounds very good, but I've got to learn how.
    How do I shut off this chattering mind?
    How do I leave all my problems behind?

    I have to recover the sweet gift of wonder.
    To marvel at everyday things such as thunder.
    And beautiful skies, even dirt and green grass
    And all the marvelous things that I pass.

    I need to see things through a child's eyes
    Recapture the wonderful joy of surprise.
    I need to trust God and his wondrous ways.
    Be grateful and thankful for life and these days.

    The concept comes through very well, thoughts as a child will never hurt us ... only give us a little bruise once in a while. Be well, k

    Great writing! It's funny that no matter how many years pass, we still feel that we have so much more to learn.
