Vibrant in fading light

Body ages but spirit remains young
Animating vibrance of childhood years
Now free from desires and also from fears
We’ve become the sage about whom we sung

We do admit we are somewhat senile
Forgetfulness having become the norm
Yet with the lamp of love lit, heart is warm
Our soul stands erect, walking life’s last mile

Our attitude is embrace and release
By day and night we sing for God an ode
Thoughts have receded, heart is our abode
We now flow through life with nonchalant ease
