TIME AND WEALTH

The sun is gone from the sky,
Dark clouds begin to cry.
Alone with my dog, here I sit
Thinking amongst the quiet.
It seems like a short time ago
That children's laughter filled the air.
Grown and gone. Where did the time go?
You ask me and I reply " I know not where".
God has been good to me throught my life,
Having wonderful children and a loving wife.
The children now have families of their own,
My wife's life cut short - God called her home.

I am not bitter, nor am I sad
When I think about the good life I've had,
Far outweigh the times of bad.
Great children and grandchildren, good health,
I surely am "A man of wealth".
