We Win in the End

All of the ghosts of my past are at last
Dead and gone away and I am alone
With the future presently rising fast
And it will be good as the years have shown
This book of my life by chapter by verse
Progresses toward the better from the worse

I win in the end I have always known

But what a struggle it has been
And what a lot of pain
What disappointment I have seen
And must see yet again

The autumn rain has come the birds have flown
But I have three children I have a friend
Even if the end should come tomorrow
No matter what now I win in the end
I embrace life in its joy its sorrow
And in its apparent meaninglessness

The winter wind comes in its time
Nor does it hesitate
But I will set down in my rhyme
What I do while I wait

Love those who love me laugh at those who hate
Pity those who curse me bless those who bless
And always join with those who celebrate
This life as I do yielding to our fate
With confidence we will somehow get by
And live all we can before we must die

We win in the end we have always known
