These Dark Days

These dark days

Are a hindrance to my soul

As each day passes

I feel I’m growing old

The leaves on the trees

Wither with grace

I’m starting to notice

The lines on my face

My will is still strong

And the wind starts to blow

All the things I’ve learned

And I still do not know

The answer to this life

I feel I’m in a quandary

But there’s no need for strife

Soon enough I’ll meet the boundary

Of heaven or hell

And this is a short summary

Of something I need to tell

So listen, my dear friends

Of this I have to say

Open the door to life

And greet each and every day

With warmth in your soul and in your heart

It’s not a hard task

This is all we need to do

We shouldn’t even ask…
