Now My Summers Gone

It is the autumn of my life - my finale.

From skudding clouds the raindrops fall

grey, so grey no clouds at all, - nor sky,

just clouds of leaves, summers thieves -

fly by.

The call of winter's strong,

my summer's now long gone.

Days weeks and months drift by - unnoticed.

The hands of time spin so fast,

time once mine no more will last - akin to,

grains of sand through fingers; land - I knew.

The memories of my spring,

still make my heart sing!

People places times now gone - fading.

Remember the warmth that touched my face

my world ran at a different pace - with choices,

a purposeful stride, troubles pushed aside - those voices.

Say go and find out more

there's a whole world out there to explore!

I grew in mind body and soul - empowered.

Discovering the world; and there did meet

a soul to make my life complete - the one,

that someone who, would help me through - I won.

A life together spent

a soul that heaven sent.

It is time to look back - reflect.

I sit with autumn scattered 'round

its golden cloak covers the ground - now sleep.

I have achieved, all that I believed - I'd reap.

My soul can move on

now my summers gone.
