Twilight Years

iceman43

I am in my twilight years

The sun isn't rising for me

It is setting

My past is becoming

A fading memory

My future is shrouded

In a mist

What is missing 

In my life

What have I missed

It doesn't matter

Soon the vale of darkness

Will cover me

Like it has to those

Who came before me

And to those who come

After me

I am in my twilight years

    Each day we breathe is a gift from above. As we age, we have more to contribute to the younger generation through our life experiences. Also, think of aging as a stepping stone to eternal life.
