"The Fall of the Year"

"The Fall of the Year"

cji
4/17/16

I'm older now and it isn't power
I've found that is important
oh just to have back one hour
not to have been so impatient;

I'd teach less about the love of power
and spend more time in time to care
thus I'd find a way to weather the shower
with time, money and a listening ear to share;

To visit the elderly and give life
holding my children longer alone
to protect them from outside strife
while making this a safer home;

Thus it is not power to desire
in the Fall of my life today
but to meet, sustain and acquire
meaning of what the scriptures say!
