A lot has happened since Tuesday morning, February 20, 2001.
Lets take a look…
A Decade
10 years come and gone
the loss of innocence
the chasing of a dream
the finding of paradise
the circle of trust
trinkets
the arch of marriage
the tie that binds
the election of of hope
the promise of change
ticket stubs
3,650 days
the helping of others
the help from many
the promise of tomorrow
and the band played on
the BB’s and 106’s
the path of stone
the gaining of new friends
the mourn of those we love
the changing of our a nation
87,600 hours
crisp sunsets
tomorrow is a new day
wishing upon a star
somewhere out there
buried in shoe boxes
the unity of the people
5,496,358.2 minutes
beaded necklaces
grey hairs sprouting
Ineka
Sled dog trails
puppy dog tales
326,781,492 seconds
scribbled journal pages
totems and memories
all the time that has passed
stars and scars
year upon year, upon year
73,584,000 moments that take our breath away
1/8th of an average mans life
searching for wisdom
finding an answer
The road narrows to a point–more behind us than ahead
Ash to Ash, Dust to Dust, Fade to Black, the Memory Remains
