My Dimming Star

My Dimming Star

​​

The bright star of my life has dimmed

And casts in shade the years before,

When hope and love and longing brimmed

My youthful cup, but now no more.
 

Where is the time, those heady days

I courted brashly, blind and bold,

And squandered in so many ways

Without a thought of growing old.
 

Where have you gone my perfect youth

That once my heart and soul defined,

For now I face a dreadful truth,

Less days to come than left behind.
