Falling leaves of late October
float softly in the morning sun,
the leaf unhinges from the tree
it has had it's yearly run.
Like the falling leaves - my
memories fade with time,
and all I have to give - are
the remnants of a fading rhyme.
The good, far outweighs the bad
but they too, in time will wane,
and nothing will obstruct the
speeding of that doomsday train.
But know that love itself -
it never really dies,
the happiness, the hurt, the
lonesome, silent cries;
The images of life will only fade
the clarity itself will soon be gone,
but the memories themselves,
will live, your whole life long.
