In The Autumn Of My Life Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

- * IN THE AUTUMN OF MY LIFE *-

In the Autumn of my life
I call on you, my Lord.
I wander through this existance
And I savor every word.

Your comfort, you have given
To every part of me
And now my heart is weeping
As I humbly come to Thee.

I bend my knee in humble prayer
And hear Your voice so clear
That with this glowing comfort
I know that You are near.

I feel Your hand caress me
For here I am Your child,
And know that You do love me
And, on me, You have smiled.

And as the burdens lifting
Shoulders no longer bend,
For You have taken all of this
With which I did contend.

My life has now been mended
By Your love, to me displayed,
For all the things You gave to me,
As the blessings, for others, I prayed.
