Through All My Five & Time-Spun Years

Through all my five and time-spun years I`ve watched the moon full wax and wane Beheld the oceans ebb and flow - Walked in the sunshine and the rain I`ve glimpsed the flowers bloom in Spring In Autumn`s chill, their petals fall Known much of happiness and pain Seen those set low 'neath those stood tall I`ve fixed my eyes upon the dawn Upon the dazzling setting sun Have thus beheld the glitt`ring stars In full display when day is done And in the passing of the years As earth in all her beauty turns I`ve known the seasons marking time And witnessed every soul that yearns I`ve watched the rich man take his fill The poor man falter in his wake Known those who walk on fallow ground And those the world chose to forsake I`ve smiled through all my halcyon days With joy and splendour to abide But in the darker hours when spent That`s when I`ve cried, O how I`ve cried So what remains in future years For such I cannot yet foretell - Whatever time be left for me I deem that I shall use it well
