We can't have it all
But we can make the most of the memories we have
Long car rides in a nostalgic land that was the original home
Losing yourself in his emerald blue eyes
Singing of God"s endless love in Lithuanian at bible study
Stranding yourself in the middle of nowhere with dear friends
Wednesday prayer nights of hope with your dearest roomies, believing in God to do miracles of the impossible.
Sipping banana chocolate lattes at midnight with your best friend talking about this beautiful life
Singing Russian love songs in coffeeshops with an acoustic guitar
Late night walks after youth group lost under the starry Baltic sky...
We can't have it all,
But we can make the most of the memories we have,
Our hearts will break within our glass souls
We will fall in love
We will fall out of love
Oh how short this life is!
As we immortally lie to our mortal selves
Taking the ones we love for granted
You are only 22 once
Perhaps our lives didn't go as we planned, hoped or dreamed, but I thank God He had something even greater in mind
I thank Him for
Each smile
Each heart felt laugh
Each dear soul I have ever met in this beautiful life
Each moment of artistic inspiration
Each musical melody that ever danced across the catacombs of my wandering heart
For Every time I was lost under your Baltic sky
for every time I was lost under your American sky
And every culture in between and beyond
We can't have it all
And I've finally come to peace with this reality
But we can make the most of the memories we were blessed to be alive for.
