Only Time Will Tell

As I walk alone 
Through the thickened forest path, 
thinking to myself.
Have I done enough... 
in my life to please the Lord? 
What else can I do?
I tried to do good. 
I tried my best to be kind, 
thoughtful and caring.
My children, bless them. 
They made me a happy man. 
How long will I live?
How long will they live? 
Long past when I'm gone...I hope, 
and pray to the Lord.
And my grandchildren 
I am blessed to have them all. 
Hmm...will I have more? 
My dear wife, my love 
I want to die before her. 
I can't bear the thought... 
of losing my love. 
I wonder, if the Lord knows... 
I want to die first.
I guess...only time will tell.
