Sometimes I Wonder..........

Sometimes I wonder......... Where will I be when I get old Who will love me for my soul Thoughts of loneliness cross my mind Am I running out of time? It’s so scary in this desolate place Staring out a window into space What have I done during my time here on earth? Who will be waiting on me? Did I earn my worth? Life passes by really fast Always thought my time would last Thinking of my people that have gone on before me Do they know…...Is that where they’ll be? Remembering the last smile I saw on his face Will I have to run his same race Will they leave me alone to think of my time of the past Or will they surround me to celebrate and have a blast Pictures and memories is all that’s left Tear after tear while I take deep breaths Stones and lettered monument will be there for me The sunshine and the storms pass while I sleep In this narrow place I will lie Unable to speak, unable to cry Thy will is done and now time moves on Who is next? Who will be gone? Sometimes I wonder…………… By Johnnie Eaves
