Reflections by Margaret Boston
In the autumn of our years
Our minds turn back again
To when we were a pretty girl
Or a tall and handsome man.
We look at what we have become
As the years pass swiftly by
The good and bad that we have done
And all the things we’ve had to try.
Was it worth the trials of life
And all the living we have done?
For sure the love, and yes, the strife
Have gained for us the victories won!
