[hometext] => I didn't know what topic to put this in... I wrote this one back in the late '80's after high school... hope u like it...
[bodytext] => There are no stars shining brightly in the night sky tonight For I am the old woman... what am I to do? Just sitting here in my rocking chair crying and feeling blue Feeling the pain and sorrows of all my years For I am the old woman... crying these lonely tears Bringing back the memories of the good old days They are just faded memories dusted with age The rain beats down upon tin roof of my rambled old shack As my heart beats slowly to the tune of "Amazing Grace" I lay myself down to sleep on the old feather bed As the darkness surrounds my gray and silver head Transforming into a halo of sparkling gold My years of suffering are finally over I'm on my way back home... For I am the old woman... the Lord above sent the angels to beckon The Golden Stairs lie at my feet to climb high above God's creation Though my loved ones may mourn... in their heart of hearts they know... I am the old woman... in Heaven with the Lord [comments] => 2 [counter] => 155 [topic] => 48 [informant] => kidpoet_213 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
