The Waning of Life
The leaves are falling, falling
now,
And as they fall, brushing against
my breast,
They fall and are lifeless now,
And they lie down to their final
rest…
The limbs on the trees,
Are bare and feel the cold,
Bracing for the wintry days,
One day again they'll be green
and bold…
The rain and wind is very cold,
As the seasons change once again,
The season of winter around
the corner,
As the fall will start to wane…
The snow is here again,
Not just on the mountain tops,
The coolness of fall disappears,
And temperatures continue to
drop…
For all those who are still around,
Family closeness and joy they'll
bring,
Together we will celebrate each
occasion,
And from our hearts we'll sing…
As the seasons pass so quickly
by,
And my family grows and drifts
apart,
For all those who we have lost,
I'll keep them in a corner of
my heart…
