The passage of time takes it's toll <br /> Upon the mortal form <br /> The beauty that once was <br /> Fades. disappears, all gone <br /> <br /> The joy of knowing, it went within <br /> Is more than I can bear <br /> Enhancing my spirit it makes me glad <br /> The glory my spirit form wear <br /> <br /> All the things I use to do <br /> When I was young and strong <br /> Seem so hard now sometimes I ask <br /> What have I done, so wrong? <br /> <br /> My hair is gray, my eyes are dim <br /> My foot steps slow, won't go <br /> But, good news I tell you I think to myself <br /> My spirit is white as snow <br /> <br /> Yes. the passage of time, has done it's duty <br /> In it's mystical way <br /> Preparing my soul for it's long stay <br /> Up yonder, in Heaven, someday<br /><br />Vernell L.
