Sometimes I feel like I am just marking time



Day drifts into day
Night upon night
And still the nagging thoughts
Sometimes I feel like I am just marking time.

Hours turn to days
Days turn to weeks
Weeks turn to years
Sometimes I feel like I am just marking time.

Babies are born
Toddlers mature into children
Children grow to young adults
Sometimes I feel like I am just marking time.

What purpose do I serve
What questions can I answer
What change can I experience
Sometimes I feel like I am just marking time.

Teach me I pray to number my days
Teach me I pray to not dwell in the past
Teach me I pray to not fret over the future
Sometimes I feel like I must stop marking time.
