He peers into the mirror of his life His curiosity expands the scope Their silver Autumn season stained with strife He whispers nightly prayers beside his wife But time has brought them to a slip’ry slope He peers into the mirror of his life Her disability cuts like a knife With choices disappearing as they cope Their silver Autumn season stained with strife Enduring pain and worry ever rife She prays for some relief and strength to cope He peers into the mirror of his life Each day she tries to claim a fuller life A better goal than reasons found to mope Their silver Autumn season stained with strife She counts her blessings and God’s gift of life The anchor for her soul remains her hope He peers into the mirror of his life Their silver Autumn season stained with strife
