AS THE YEARS PASS<\/p>\n

As the years slowly pass us by,
\nWe oft ask ourselves, why oh why,
\nDid I do those things I did?
\nWas I crazy, did I pop my lid?<\/p>\n

Wisdom comes, and foolishness goes,
\nGod has a plan, our life He knows,
\nPride is broken, humility springs,
\nWe think on just important things.<\/p>\n

Lessons learned, now we must share,
\nOur mistakes, we all must bear.
\nTeach our young, so they may learn,
\nIf they don’t, it will be their turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
