~AUTUMN
OF MY LIFE~
In the autumn
of my life
Now that the
days are finally here
I think about
what could have been
Instead of
what was, all these years
My hair is
turning white
Like a new
fallen snow
Yet my heart
still remembers
When life
was aglow
Now that I
am older
With more
than half my life passed by
I think of
things I wish I'd done
And never
questions why
I think of
how some are so lucky
That nothing
bad ever came into their life
How some marriages
last a lifetime
For certain
husbands and wives
I think of
what I could have done
To change
the path I walked
Would I be
someone different
Than just
the old woman who types and talks?
I think about
the little boy
I gave birth
to long ago
And though
I loved with all my heart
His life with
me for very long, was not to be so
I think about
the raindrops
On a hot summer
day
I think of
how tears are
And endless
storm today
I think of
how many lives
Have come
into my own
And how things
I once cared about
Are not important
as I now know
I think of
what I can do
Before I leave
this earthly life
To leave something
good behind
For bereaved
husband and wives
I think about
Heaven
And how fast
it takes to get there
I think, Can
I prove it exists
To parents
everywhere?
I think about
my own heart
And the years
I've had to grieve
It never seems
it could have happened
So many years
ago to me
Love is yesterday,
Today and
tomorrow too
I'll never
let go of my heart
Until my time
is spent with you
My autumn years
are now here
And there's
nothing that I can do
But patiently
wait my turn
And I once
again get to hold you
I'll imagine
that day
And what a
Glory it will be
When God calls
my name
Into eternity
with Him, you and me
So wait my
child for me
The years
are ticking fast away
My autumn
years have arrived
I'll be with
you again some day.....

In memory
of my son, Andy
And a love
that will never die
