My Great Grandmother,
Sadie Ellen Dixon
Always On My Mind
Time goes by so fast

I wonder where it all went

I try to figure it out

This time and where it was spent

I never knew what old age was

Just run, play, and have fun

Being sick, old, and near the end

To lose the life of a loved one

Of course now I know the truth

In this world we all leave our mark

We all hope to go to Heaven

Where they play those beautiful harps

I never wanted to be

Old and wrinkled like you

You passed away when I was eight

Now, I look in the mirror

And I see what is marked upon lifes slate

Old age will without a doubt come

My life has been good

Throughout it all

I am happy and I see I

Look so much like you

We will know each other

In my final call

Life is wondeful and grand

But I want you surely to know

I think of you often

I still love you from ever so long ago
