-throughout the Years-

Here at this place, this overlook
where I've come throughout the years,
I look out over the valley
and reflect as the coming dusk nears.

It is here at this majestic overlook
where I've expressed time and time again
The scenic changes amidst the years
through the lines which flow from my pen.

A breeze blows gently upon my face
and this is as it should be.
A changing of seasons at this place
as the last signs of winter slowly flee.

But no matter the varied things I see
at this place from time to time,
Lord, You're the one constant ever with me
as I set these words to rhyme.

where I have come thoughout the years; I look out over the valley, reflecting as the dusk nears. ..(all 8 syllables ;) At this majestic overlook, where I've sat time and time again; watching the yearly scenic changes, through the lines which flow from my pen. See what you think??? Light & Love
