The Years of My Autumn ღKKDღ

 

The Years of My Autumn Oh I knew there would come the time Ole Mother Nature would catch me and rudely jerk me from my prime Oh I ran so fast the keep in front But her vicious head did rear Ya know its really not as bad as I had so long feared The eyes have lines that weren't there before But the sparkle is still within as my heart does still soar I no longer can turn a head or have those flirtatious looks. But with age comes wisdom learning its more than just covers of books The figure is one I don't care to show Its not the same of what seems really not all that long ago I think my biggest regret is the youth I wasted The love I gave that I never tasted. Without fear I serenely approach the last chapter of my life's book But the pages to quickly turn just as my youth she silently took My dreams are still young and my heart is my next poem I try so hard to embrace The years of my Autumn ღKKDღ Original by Donna DeLong Matthews March 2011 ©2011 (All rights reserved) Butch Whitelake Autumn Secrets Visit my Web Site Reflections of My Heart View All My Poems ღ God asked me how long I planned on keeping you in my life.
