years gone.

i am alive.

for twenty years gone, actually.

my eyes have seen -

for twenty years gone.

my lungs have breathed -

for twenty years gone.

my heart has hurt -

for twenty years gone.

my soul has been joyful -

for twenty years gone.

my spirit has changed -

in twenty years gone.

my love has grown -

for twenty years gone.

my love has grown weary -

for twenty years gone.

my Father hasn't faltered -

for twenty years gone.
