Life's Autumn

Life's autumn fails, dark memories too,
We strive to hold the life we knew;
The loves, the face we treasured, gone
And death now silences the home.

But Love will always with us stay
Though faith and hope will have their day;
These sturdy guides will come to pass,
When all is changed to all that lasts.

The hope that helps us in our night
Will not be needed when there's light;
Since faith persists though lamps are dim
We'll grasp Love's very essence then.
