DESTINY

As I awoke this morning a stillness filled the air,

As I looked outside the window, I saw your old rocking chair,

I was taken back to the many times we sat and talked,

Late in the evening, hand and hand we often walked,

We shared dreams of things to come what we would like to do,

Now here I am all by myself, still missing you,

Life is but a Season changing for us all,

I know that I must carry on winter, spring or fall,

You will always be a part of me and I will never be alone,

Just like the Seasons, my life must go on,

I am what I am because you believed me,

To everything there is a Season, we must face our Destiny.
