Journey Through Life
by Perry McDonald
Thirty years the seasons have gone round
And as usual it has been found
That you and me continue to be
Though at times the path is hard to see
On this journey through life
If we had our doubts when we were young
We had the sense enough to hold our tongues
And listen in turn, so we could learn
The secrets to loving all of our lives
Out on the breakwater in Little Traverse Bay
We made the commitment we hold to this day
In light and through darkness we've always found our way
It's not always easy, That's easy to say
We found something worth it and we won't let it slip away
The years slip by like leaves fall from the trees
Our roots grow deeper with shared history
In our hearts and in our minds
What ever we find, through space and through time
All of our lives
Our time grows shorter as our love matures
The paradox is something we endure
Though the future is unknown, Now that our children have grown
They've begun a journey all their own
For the rest of their lives
