Another Year Gone Poem by Billy Loving

Feeling all alone
Reminiscing on another year come and gone
The second hand spins around
Soon the ball will be dropping down

Into the mirror I stare
Of the new wrinkle unaware
Beard turning to gray
Growing older day by day

Thinking of people long since past
Life, but a brief moment does it last
Visions of the graveyard dancing in my head
Thoughts of words left unsaid

Making the most of precious time
Awaiting the clock's final chime
Fragility of life so lucid to me
With the Maker's master plan, as content as can be
