Joy

As the autumn of life drifts in The lights of my eyes grow dim With the joy of my years Still beside me here There is not much that I will fear As the winter of my life arrives My voice will be just a whisper With the joy of my salvation Waiting for me at the station I will in quiet adoration kneel In my mind spring will beckon me The baggage old and beat I'll leave With the joy of my life just within sight The constant yearning will cease As perfect joy will become complete ~*~

I love this poem, it is a sentimental write ... but it is not trite, it sets a tone of layered levels of surprise that speaks to joy.
