many years and many days

So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 11:8

Many years in which to rejoice

such is the gift of life

Many years to discover

the joy and meaning in life

Many years to remember

past joys and pains

Many years to experience

warm sunshine and cold rain

Many days in those years

will be dark and dreary

Many days of toil and sorrow

long nights unhappy and weary

Many days full of questions

pointless nights with nothing to show

Many days where sickness weakens

endless long nights of the soul

Let me remember in these years, Lord

the joys You have given, the victories won

In Your perspective in my darkness

I will still trust that You have overcome

without You with me in all times

this life would feel worthless and vain

but in Your grace both light and darkness

are gifts of goodness through both joy and pain
