Autumn Of Our Lives Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Autumn Of Our Lives

Rating: 4.7


We are in the autumn of our lives
And watching it I wonder
Who will perish first?
You lay yr head on my stomach
Meditiating with the rhythem of my breath
You close yr eyes for the day is ending
But I stand guard for the grim reaper
Because I'd rather have me to be first

Hi LeeAnn, we are all in the autumn of our lives. And should get ready, prepare ourselves for the inevitable. I understand that your love, unqualified love and attachment to your partner make you wish that you should be the first to leave. (Contd)

2) But my take is different. My wife and I are so very much dependent on each other. Though I am fully aware of my emotional dependence on her, I am aware that her emotional requirement for my presence is more than mine.

I have been trying to train ourselves by allowing my wife to stay with our daughter as often as possible, while I remain at my native place. Thus I have learned a bit of the chores she used to take upon herself, including cooking and shopping.

Intriguing song of love, enduring through the watches of the night, a light in the dark... Beautiful.

Dear LeeAnn, relax. You are only in Summer. People like me and Robert Murray Smith are in the Autumn or even Winter of our lives. Great poem!
