As I sit here and dream, I can Vividly remember All the seasons of my life, from Spring thru December The springs of my life when I Played , carefree - Also the summers when I reared My family The days of autumn when the Children were raised. I can see rest and peace ahead And I am amazed All this machinery, once so Shiny and new Has been ravished by time As I have, too The pods have matured and Spent their seeds More plants will grow here Instead of weeds |
All the buildings have lost Their stability; "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust", Facing Eternity The horizon has dimmed, the Skies are cold; The trees are awaiting winter, Leafless and bold The seasons come, the seasons go, so Keep the fires hot Time, alone, is irreplaceable Waste it not It's past the autumnal but I have Accomplished my part I helped all of my children Find a good start But I am content as I look Into the past For I am contemplating serenity Beyond the last |
