Guidance of the Golden Years

April 8, 2011

I could not stop the tears from flowing,

Who loved the very soul of thee,

All these years and yet unknowing

Betrayal and infidelity.

Through blinding tears I could not see

The doubt, a cancer in your soul,

I saw my own ignominy

Forgetful of my spirit's call.

But one who lives a flame in me

Saved me from disastrous fate

Broke the chains and set me free

That I might love and calmly wait,

Done with all life's useless tears

The guidance of the golden years.
