| In My Life |
| Her twilight years have come and gone
Her body frail and small Her memories still fresh in mind Her youthful heart still calls Her children have long since left the nest Their children have children of their own Her Dear Husband went to his early rest Leaving her all alone... She sits on her own in her hospice room Reminiscing when she was young The gloom around her fading fast As images return one by one In my life, she remembers fondly I�ve had many wonderful things The love of my life, a home and family And the joy that these gifts bring Now that my time is nearing its end I feel blessed for what I�ve had My life has been filled with happiness And for that I am eternally glad She closes her eyes and smiles wearily Her tired thoughts beckoning sleep Her husband takes her gently by the hand Now, she is his to keep� Copyright�2004M.A.Anderson Brisbane, Australia Word count: 160 |
