On My Road Of Time.

Goldfinch60



I have walked the road of time,

Walked it for so many years

And each step of that road

Has led to words on a page,

Showing the good and the bad

That I have seen along the road.

But in my long life

The good has always been there,

It outweighs the bad so much.

So I look back on my life

And see so much good about it,

And most of all the love,

The love that has been there.

From my parents who taught me,

Taught me the right way,

The right way to live with respect,

Respect to all around.

Then I met her,

Met my wonderful wife

And in our forty years,

Forty years married

We never had a row.

The sad time then came

When she suffered,

Suffered and died,

The saddest day of all.

But then it happened again,

I met another lady

And love bloomed once more,

And the new path started,

The new path on my road,

On my road of time.
