Today I turned the page
It is the last in the chapter
Tomorrow starts a new one
I wonder what comes after
But today I savor
I enjoy the last few words
Taking snapshots in my mind
Of all that’s seen and heard
Trying to live in the moment
To read this page, not skip to the next
I’m anxiously anticipating
Don’t know what to expect
Focus on this page
But I begin to reminisce
The story that’s been thus far
Laughter, tears, so many moments
Sure we’ll have more
But this chapter is through
We’ll see each other less
Shared moments will be few
It’s been quite a journey
Lots of ups, a few downs
Smiling, fun memories
Only more impactful because of a few frowns
I hope you’ll always treasure
The lessons that you’ve learned
Highest of all follow Jesus
God’s will utmost to be discerned
No we haven’t been perfect
But we hope you know we tried
Many have been our failures
And for these our eyes have cried
But our sorrow is turned to joy
When we feel God’s embrace
This story has been and will always be
Filled with His love and grace
So as I finish this page
A little sadness, but a whole lot of excitement
An adventure awaits
Go live your divine assignment
