Roll On

Me one year older

I swear that time's a trick it disappears in oh so quick, Man I was just sixteen and now I'm starin' at forty-six. But I'm still havin' a good time

Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster
We're one day older and one step closer
Roll on there's mountains to climb
Roll on we're on borrowed time
Roll on Roller coaster
Roll on tonight
Roll on tonight

And I know it's hard to see with the sun in your eyes
But one day you're gonna say I saw the light

And now headin' for the hill
And I just cannot wait until
My children grow up to have children of their own
And I'll be telling them about
The times I turned the party out
And how I stood against an army all alone
Drinkin' wine and stayin' high
And realized it couldn't last
And how God Turned my life around
And went down another path
And the signs we must observe
When life's changes do occur
But most of all I'll tell them
Just how proud I am of them
And always have a good time
It's all love and good times
Let's all have a good time Yeah

Today I turn 46.  It is hard to explain how I feel.  I ticked over the top...there is no denying I am really in my forties.  These days I ponder on some of the things my mom used to tell me about how she felt and just how fast it does go by.  

I don't mind birthdays...not even the years they represent.  I figure they are going to come and go whether I like it or not...Might as well enjoy it and be thankful for another day with the people I love.  I am grateful that everyday I grow stronger physically and mentally...that I am here to pursue the Lord even though I sometimes fall short.
