You're Gonna Miss This

More the rock music fan than the
country fan I am endeared to Trace
Adkins and this song in particular.

'You're Gonna Miss This' and the
 chorus: You're gonna miss this,
               you're gonna want this back
               you're gonna wish these days
               hadn't gone by so fast
 are so intertwined with many points
 of our daily lives.

  If we look back to when our children
   were babies or each year as they grew
  If we look at our community at large
   and remind ourselves of the attempt
   we made as volunteers to make it better
  If we spent time with family & friends
   who are no longer here or near to us
  If we attempt to bring laughter to those
   who are struggling
  These and countless others are times
     we miss as we travel through our
     life's journey.

  After just spending nearly a month in
     daily conversation with a distant friend
     we both commented, 'I'm gonna miss this.'
