The Bigger Picture
Those mornings, noons and nights make up days and days make years and years add up to life. Think about it. When you are young, you could be said to be in the morning of your life. The middle-aged years could be said to be the noontime of life. And lastly, the years of old age can be looked upon as the evening of life. The body has gotten weary and the signs of the evening are approaching.
A Day, A Life
Made it through the morning
Of life
To make it through the noontime
Of life
And now we are moving over into the evening
Of life
Time is winding up and rest awaits
Come on young folk; pick up the torch now
It is soon to be your time on the stage of life
So, step forward and take a bow
And begin to understudy your mentors
So that when you have to fill said shoes
You can walk with confidence though
Saddened by the news that another from the evening
Of Life
Has ceased struggling with toils and with strife
And can say
"I made it through the days and through life."
Doing What I Can, While I Can Because I Care,
