Life's Golden Autumn

 

Memory opens wide the door

on a happy day like this,

And with sweet nostalgia

we longingly recall,

The happy days of long ago

that seem the best of all...

But time cannot be halted in

its swift and endless flight,

And age is sure to follow youth

as day comes after night,

And once again it's proven that

the restless brain of man

Is powerless to alter God's great

unchanging plan...

But while our steps grow slower

and we grow more tired, too,

The soul goes roaring upward

to realms untouched and new.

"Life's Golden Autumn"
