Twilight Years

Twilight Years ( Ameri Sonnet) Being guided the right way When I am failing to cope Enriching life day by day Hearing whispers, words of hope. Thanking the Lord for His love For the blessed guiding light Turning all my thoughts above When there seems no end insight. But with faith I always find Brighter days within my life And the gift of peace and mind It helps to bear stress and strife And the twilights of the year They have filled my heart with cheer. Ameri-Sonnet as described by the creator Richard W. Jenkins 14-lines in seven syllables each, with a rhyme-scheme as follows:abab, cdcd, efef, gg
