blabla-
This is for you – from a former teen.
In the Blink of an Eye
In the blink of an eye
Take it from an old guy
This also, it shall pass
Said the melech named Dovid
Of all the things you amass
The least worthy is kavod
You see family and health
Are by far the most precious
While great honor and wealth
Are not the best moreshes
In the blink of an eye
Your troubles will recede
As the years race by
And they do so, indeed
The terror I then felt
Entering second grade
Somehow with it I dealt
And in yeshiva I stayed
High school seemed so immense
Impossible to succeed
Yet it soon was past tense
Into the shidduch scene
Was the next scary phase
Was my past squeaky clean?
Who would say over my praise?
I only hope and pray
That you cheer up somehow
But you will climb rung by rung
And life will make more sense
And things that make you sigh
The bad let go, the good to treasure
All in the blink of an eye
