In the evening of my life
I reflect back.
I see the time of childhood
Where worries did not exist,
Running over the fields with friends
Laughter in our hearts,
Not a care in the world.
I see the teenage years,
Where a man was being created.
Good times, bad times
But I came through untroubled.
I see the working years
Where times were good,
And after forty seven years
Retired unscathed.
I see my married years
Where my love gets stronger each day
With that wonderful lady who said I do
Nearly forty years ago,
She now has her problems
But our love increases each day.
In the evening of my life
I reflect on the now,
And can say it IS a good life,
But best of all,
I am still here.
