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 all 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 question why
I think of how some are so lucky
That nothing bad every came into their
life
How some marriages lasted 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 a 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
An 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 husbands 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.......
