resting a tired body upon this ageing chair.

style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center"

class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center"
align="center">Reminiscing about the years that have us passed

class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center"
align="center">Hoping that those to come will also be a devoted task

style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center">The
spring days of our life have been and gone.

style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center">Just
as the summer joys of middle age, are now just songs.

class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center"
align="center">It's autumn time and we have grandchildren we
adore.

But our children are still happy and
producing more.

class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center"
align="center">Time has taken the youth from our bodies and we have
aged,

Into another of life of mysteries as we turn
the page.

Throughout those years we stood
the good and the bad.

And we still find the magic
in the love, that we still have.
