In the evening of your years

Will your life be filled with regrets and tears
Or will you remember the blessings and joys
A childhood of happy memories and toys?

What’ll be important in the evening of your years
Faith, family and friends or end time fears
Will you cherish the special moments
With those to whom you are closest?

I know these golden years of ours
In the autumn of our lives
Will never come this way again
We should really appreciate the blessings
That each fresh new day brings.

Treasure each little flower
A cup of tea or a happy hour
Every song and the gift of friendship
Time together to enhance a relationship.

Don’t let the evening of your years
Slip away as it disappears
Learn to appreciate life’s beauty
And the years will reward you, absolutely.
