I've seen this before,
I recognize this pattern.
Everywhere you go,
people and events aren't all that different.
I don't feel like I've lived so long
but I've seen a lot; enough.
Enough to know that I didn't know
what I was doing for the first fifty years.
Enough to recognize the ones
who are sinking into the same pit where I was.
Enough to learn that all that matters now
is to come to Him with the faith of a child...
for the next fifty years.
