The kitchen window panes show their ware
The old man just sits and stares
Within his mind are yesterdays
Happier times that now fade away
In his patience he would know
How fast does grass grow
His mind strong his body weak
A lonesome tear runs down his cheek
His children once his joy
Three daughters five little boys
Too many days gone unseen
Flowers grow every spring
His mind so wanders
Wonders
His wife long gone he is alone
Forlorned
Whats and whys and could have beens
Lunch but a can of cold beans
He thinks its been so long
Where and when did I do wrong
His sickness eats within
God forgive my sin
To every season a time for peace
Never too late nor out of reach
A blue jay lites on the feeder outside
Tears never come old eyes are dry
Must feed my birdies
Each day he rises early
One morning a moaning dove
To every season a time for love
Coo Coo its lovely cry
Lonesome he sits inside
How long has it been
God bless my lovely children
Grand children he hardly knows
Winters gone the crocus grow
Prayer now his daily chore
A time for peace a time for war
Power over earth is satans domain
Have mercy on my children and all who remain
Days are long and years are short
A body weak will soon depart
Father to You my soul will return
Bones to dust is what he yearns
