This is a simple song about appreciating life's moments that took on a deeper meaning when my Stepfather died this past weekend.

Jim was a wonderful man who was largely responsible for helping my Mom emerge from her cocoon and become the free spirit she is today.

We are forever in your debt, Jim, for your kindness, generosity and good humor.  I know where you are today and I only hope I can follow in your footsteps to see you again.

Easy now, let's take it slow
Life moves fast enough on its own
Every day's another passing life

Lose yourself, find again
Faith you sold for thickened skin
In our ways, we're simply passing time

Let the waves drift past
Safe on the shore at last
Tomorrow will never find you here

Fireside, soaking in
Lips tender on your skin
In every way, we're only passing by

Let awareness melt away
Secure in this warm embrace
Secure in this passing life
Let the waves drift past
Safe on the shore at last
Tomorrow will never find you here

Easy now, let's take it slow
Life moves fast enough on its own
Every day's another passing life
Another passing life

Since I will be spending some time with my family over the next week or so, I will likely be tardy responding to comments, if I can respond at all.  Please accept this note as a token of my gratitude for commenting/rating/sharing.  You are the fuel that keeps my fires lit.

Justin
