Gin And Tears
And as I reach my end of years
I’ve come to know my gin and tears
A pleasant cocktail, I suppose
As time, that mighty river flows
Yet, not for sadness in my cup
This combination sums it up
But rather sweet and salty times
That brought me all the best of rhymes
Reflections with an added twist
A tonic of a potent mist
For life’s true reverie is clear
In all I’ve lived and loved so dear
So gin and tears I recommend
When all alone or with a friend
A nice, tall glass will do me fine
I love the life that has been mine
I hope again in ten years’ days
As flowers grow and music plays
I’ll sip away, no matter where
With gratitude and love to spare
