AUTUMN
I want to come to Autumn with the silver in my hair,
And maybe have the children stop to look at me and stare;
I'd like to reach October free from blemish or from taint,
As splendid as a maple tree which artists love to paint.
I'd like to come to autumn, with my life work fully done
And look a little like a tree that's gleaming in the sun;
I'd like to think that I at last could come through
care and tears
And be as fair to look upon as every elm appears.
But when I reach October, full contented I shall be
If those with whom I've walked through life shall
still have faith in me;
Nor shall I dread the winter's frost, when brain
and body tire,
If I have made my life a thing which others can admire.

Gary Dane Michael Carrier (born Gary Dane Michael and adopted by his paternal aunt and uncle after he was orphaned at age 2) was a much loved husband, father, grandfather and friend to many. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved working in his garden, fishing on his boat and playing the keyboard for friends and family. He was also a very good cook and made all of the family holiday meals. His obituary was contributed to USGENWEB, Pennsylvania, under Mercer and Jefferson Counties.
