The breaking of the tide

The breaking of the tide

The tide of life is breaking
and soon we'll come to see
That there is no ignoring
what God has willed to be.
-
That which has been so able
to tempt us in our youth
One day will lose the power
to cover up the truth.
-
And though the heart is stubborn
just living lets us know,
That we are getting weaker
the farther that we go.
-
When sails no longer flutter
and days have passed us by
When we can't change direction
no matter how we try.
-
It's time to face the music
that time has sought to hide
And know that we are facing
the breaking of the tide.
