Help! My Leaves are Falling!
Just as I excel in all I do—
Hitting my prime
My features dry up and fall
off
like leaves in autumn time.
At thirty it was my waist
The
hourglass forever erased.
At
forty it was my eyes
With glasses I had to accessorize
At
fifty it was my hair—
Some
of it no longer there!
At
sixty it was my ears—
The
sound just disappears
I
learn from life lessons quite a few
But
often can’t remember what I was about to do!
As I
grow older I ask for God’s grace,
His
peace and strength to finish the race.

Jesus told the woman at a well, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. John 4:13-14 NIV
