My hair turned gray as the autumns pass <br />remembering many seasons we knew <br />The richness of those shared times <br />which were special for me and you <br /> <br />The ticking of the clock of time goes on <br />As down life’s road I alone now go <br />Our hearts were joined in a bond of love <br />when we walked in fallen snow <br /> <br />Your eyes would brighten like the sky <br />And my heart would begin to sing <br />As our children flung their arms around you <br />to show and express their loving <br /> <br />All the summers have now gone <br />And my live is now hues of autumn <br />I stop and sometimes remember <br />where our lives have gone <br /> <br />Gray hair and more lines trace my face <br />like soft shadows touch the wall <br />Our children have since gone away <br />And alone I watch the rich leaves fall <br /> <br />Our love stands bright with fewer changes <br />and one by one I witness going by days <br />Alone I be but grow still stronger <br />as you watch me from above as if through haze <br /> <br />Those promises we made to each other long ago <br />To be happy in any situation I still abide <br />our lives are still bound together so true <br />though separated by a wall when you died <br /> <br />renukakkar 24.8.2011 <br />Copyright@2011<br /><br />renu kakkar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hues-of-autumn/
