As the gold leaves on the ginkgo fall, Upon the cold autumn earth. I think how the winter winds Sound, as they whip as if in mirth. Winter is upon us, cold lies ahead. Can we bear the storms of aging? I can't help but those dread. Sometimes I feel like raging. Dear Lord Jesus, give me strength, To face and handle each day given. Help me be the kind of person, That will be delighted in heaven. Not just for the reward of gold streets Nor of the river that flows And, oh! that tree of life Food for the body and soul For the reward of meeting Jesus And see those Christians gone before. The awesome sound of the heavenly choir As they sing original lines, set to a new score. Oh!! To have love in my heart A kind of love I have never known before. To feel a part of a group of people, Whose love does not keep score.

Hey Sara - congrats on making the 100 best poems (even though I never knew it existed - I am still impressed ;)). That aside I just love your poem x Aging can be cruel - I see that with my Dad - but I don't want to be fearful of that journey, I just want to appreciate life, love, friendship and health while they all endure. I have to fave this - it really speaks to my heart right now: "To feel a part of a group of people, Whose love does not keep score." Amen and amen. Lots of grace & love! Sx

Sam, I did fairly well in the aging process until I had COVID 2 1/2 years ago. That left me with some problems. I had the vaccinations but was at the end of their being strong enough to protect me and could not get another one at that time. That illness threw me for a loop. If you take care of yourself, aging doesn't have to be too bad. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K

Nancy, Here in the south we have planed a few Ginkgo trees that happen to be from Asia. A lady here started growing them and selling them out of her yard, and after I had seen a few after they got a little size on them, I loved the wonderful yellow leaves of fall so I got one. Thanks for dropping by my page with congrats on my POTD. Sara K
