October Morn Poem by Gary G Willmore

Now comes the time to lay me down
On this cold October morn
Memories of life, which I have lived
With all the discomforts, some glory

Regrets from the past did set my road
Which I was made to follow
Never knowing my quest or what lies ahead
As I walk this avenue, some sorrow

History will tell of great men who fell
But what of us that did follow
My world a dream, the life I've seen
Never knowing if there was a ‘morrow

As I lay here at rest did my life pass the test
Set by my father before
Regrets I have some, did it change the outcome
To what was so expected

My family I leave with examples to lead
Or given advice as to follow
But now comes the time to lay me down
On this cold October morn
