Remembering!

 Looking into the woods,

from my study window,

thinking many thoughts,

thoughts that are good;

I see me when I was young,

walking the woods trails,

laughing and having fun;

I see me crying when Grandpa died,

and exercising my dog by my side.

I see me married,

walking hand in hand,

with my dear wife,

a lady, lovely and grand.

I see me a few years later,

playing hide and seek,

with my children,

richly blessed by things that matter.

I see me now old and grey,

unable to work,unable to play.

I see me richly blessed,

able to praise God,

and talk with Him and make my request.
