Larry Bradfield Poet Tail-rhyme

I Loved My Life

My days grow short and the shadows lengthen
I pray hard that my prayers will strengthen
My nerve here at the end

My life replays before my eyes each day
And I smile as I watch - Oh, what can I say
I loved my life

The time came and all of the skies lightened
Then a voice spoke but I wasn't frightened
"Well done, son! Welcome home."
