Analysis of Blink Of An Eye

Ginny Sue Powell 1986 (Bowling Green, Kentucky)



Just when you think life is good.

Shattered dreams and shattered hopes.

Stop this curve ball thrown my way

What to do, Where to go...

God has my plan, which way may I go?

Guide me down this path of life and bring me into the brighter light.

How to ful-fill this journey I choose

Right or Wrong, who really knows?

Push a little longer, a little harder to accomplish this and that.

For what purpose do I suppose?

This I truly know,

Everything can be gone in a Blink Of An Eye

Chapter done and Booked Closed

New Beginnings to arise

Time to pick up the ball and move down  my road

Nothing is permanent, Live Life How you want it

Be True To Yourself for this is our Temporarily Home
