Avenue of Life

As I walked the tree lined avenue of life My eyes behold a wonderful sight Birds with red breasts and colours galore Sing and bathe in pools on the floor The darkness disappears through the sunlit leaves Changing their colour in the friendly breeze The leaves on the floor are crackly and dry Asking to be run through, I think I might try. The flowers in the gardens are of many a hue Their perfume drifts on the winds of time Soon the flowers will fade but their seeds will be new To bloom again another time But my life is now, so I must remember the scenes The beauty around me, the perfume, the sun So when life is ending I can think back on these things And say to myself, life was fun
