My Winter Years Poem by Ray Hansell

I'm living in the winter years
Of my withering life
It was back a decade or more
When I lost my wife

Since then nothing matters
I'm just passing time
This life that I'm living
It is no longer mine

You see, God is now in control
Each day my mobility is less then the day before
I wake up each morning
Thinking, I can't take anymore

I know that I don't have many
Years left inside of me
My hearing is slowly failing
It's getting harder to see

So as winter slowly takes over
And slows me more each year
When my time on earth is done
I won't shed a tear
