Quiet is the peace of another world
Where raindrops drip
Magic
On a bed of leafy brown

It is the autumn
Of a new born day
And the sun
Drifting slowly across the sky
Brings warmth
To a waiting landscape
Of grass and tree

The old man
Sitting pensively
On a rock
Pondering
Eternity
Smiles
And basks in the rays
Of a sunlit sky

He rises
And begins a walk
Down memory lane

He sees bounty
And goodness
In a world
Of opportunity
And marvels with excitement
At the thoughts
Of his tomorrows

They would be happy times
Filled with family and friends
He would partake of their offerings
And smile with delight
At the laughter
That conjoined their souls

He would love them all
Until eternity
Beckoned his core
And took him home
To his land
Of eternal sunshine
And heavenly reward

He smiled again
And skipped along
Thanking God
For all that is
