Track of Time

Seems I lose track of time somehow
As I gaze through a maze of the naked tree boughs
Which but a day or so ago
Were clad in emerald-golden glow
And from their cool and shady nook
I could climb to watch the brook
Meandering through fields below
Which now lie sleeping ‘neath the snow
As another year is ending now
I seem to lose track of time somehow….

Seems I lose track of time somehow
As I see silver touch the brow
Which not so long ago it seems
Held the glow of youthful dreams
But as dreams change along the way
Turning the raven locks to grey
We climb in memory up a hill
To view past ages, changeless, still
And I see another year join there now
Oh, it seems I lose track of time somehow….

Seems I lose track of time somehow
And as I climb the naked bough
To view the shadows that they cast
On frozen meadows of the past
I am reminded once again
Of one Constant that will remain
Yesterday, today and forever the same
Into the stillness I whisper His name
Thank-you Jesus for comforting me now
It’s so easy to lose track of time somehow
