Autumn time

Autumn time
And the living aint easy
Birds are flying
Far away in the sky

Yes life has been rich
And you memories are smiling
So hush little lady
Don’t you cry

One of these mornings
You won’t hear birds singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
To heaven you’ll fly

But until that morning
Your thoughts they will stay true
With all of your children standing by

Autumn time
And the living aint easy
Birds are flying
Far away in the sky

Your time has been rich
And your memories are smiling
So hush little lady
Don’t you cry

With thanks to DuBose Heyward and George Gershwin

Thank you Macchelmas. This Fits me perfectly.I was just talking to my son and told him how lucky I am that I have had a great life. Problems? Yes indeed that is what living does, brings problems, but we learn to solve them. I am healthy at age 82 soon to be 83 and remember many sad and unhappy parts of my life but put them in the back ground and concentrate on all the good that I have seen and done. So yes, Soon I will be "flying"  but no tears from me and I ask my family to remember the good times and shed no tears. tears from them. Best to you,Jo
