This allegory was written four months after my mom died in 1984.
Autumn of Life
10-29-84


From a beginning to an end,
Or an end to a beginning?
Autumn is the world in transition.
Not all dies in winter!

Water doesn't die - it just freezes in its place,
Waiting for the next phase.
Grass doesn't die in winter; it just lays dormant in its white grave,

Awaiting the ressurrection of Spring.
Winter is not the death of all.

Winter is a
time of waiting,
Fall is the preparation.
In the Autumn of the world, trees prepare for the Spring.

They are happy to shed their old, looking forward to the new.

In the Autumn of life, we should not fear the Winter.

We should believe in the coming Spring!
