The page sits before me
The words in my mind.
I put pen to paper,
And those words from within me
Appear on the page,
Telling of the wonder of life,
The life which I have led.
Now in the Autumn of its years
But still the words flow.
I look back on my life,
Look back with happiness.
It has been a good life.
My wife is still with me,
And over those many years together
Our life together has been wonderful,
Our love never failing,
I know that it will never fail
As Our Combined Spirits
Go on for Eternity,
Towards Paradise.
Throughout all those years
Music has been with me.
My love of Classical,
My love of Jazz,
Grows each moment of my life,
And each of those moments
Was glorious,
Is glorious.
So much music, so little time,
Even in my long life
Music still surprises me.
I now realise
That the more I get to know,
Get to know about music,
The more ignorant I realise that I am.
So much music, so little time.
My life with Nature is never far away,
I know that My River will guide My Spirit
Into the wonder of the Universe.
The Art that has come to me,
So many great works,
So many styles appreciated,
Always surprised.
At the way Art can move my soul.
Then there are words,
Words that have been written,
Written on the page,
Written on this page,
So meaningful to me
And maybe meaningful to others.
So many words,
So many years,
Such a wonderful life.
I know that when that time comes
My life will flash before me,
But I know that that life
Will be well worth watching.
Will yours?
