Side By Side

We work no long hours
nor keep track of the time,
We are living in the moment
with each one by our sides.

We stroll down the sidewalks,
Speak to others we meet,
Share a smile and a nod,
To sad faces we greet.

We enjoy the present,
we're not falling behind,
We are living in the moment,
As time's slipping by.

We travel among strangers,
We meet folks we don't know,
We chat, and we laugh,
As we happily go.

We dwell on no troubles,
No worries or fears,
Our laughter is joyful,
We shed but few tears.

We have hope for our dreams,
And faith in our souls,
We grab on to the high fives,
No time for the down lows.

We don't hurry the future,
Nor hold on to what's passed,
For we are living in the moment,
As the time wizzes past.

God is our reason
Our comfort and peace,
We seek his opinion,
We are following his lead.

We'll trod the right pathway,
God's approval we'll seek
We'll walk with him always,
With our pace at high speed.

A second will come,
A Minute will leave,
We are not even aware
Of the time in between.

Soon, one day, we will say,
It was a beautiful, sweet ride,
Because we are living in the moment,
With each one side by side.
