Crossing the Finish Line

The starting line

On the day you’re born

Your life’s mission

To be filled with smiles worn

 

From infancy to senior

A long scenic road

Share some laughs along the way

To lighten your load

 

When love finds your heart

A smile will find your soul

A feeling of euphoria

Hand in hand to hold

 

Quickly the years will pass

 Watch how the page turns

The fire within your heart

Passionately it burns

 

Wedding bells

And baby showers

Photographs and graduations

A steady flow of flowers

 

A successful career

Raising a family on love

Maybe the secret to life

And the meaning thereof

 

Looking in the rear-view mirror

You tried to follow design

A life full of smiles

Crossing the finish line
