The autumn of my life is done,
It’s really been a lot of fun.
The leaves have changed from green to gold
Though often cracks start to unfold.
The tree when young could bend and sway,
Those long past lovely distant days.
Then came maturity and young
And times of strife when branches hung;
Time passed and grace took hold, and years
Changed into mellow times, some tears.
Though now it has to be admitted
Those ill made choices I committed.
Now all has passed and autumn nears,
No more decisions, no more fears.
Accept that I am going home
The tenure of my life is done.
And memories come and memories go
It was my life, I loved it so.
The seeds I shed are now full grown,
Now see, it’s time I left for home.
Don’t weep for me, as branches fall,
My life of love I gave for all.
No time for tears, just celebrate,
I lived and loved and now it’s late.
Goodbye my loves, my children all
Remember me as winters’ fall.
