are many changes
Ups and downs and curves abound
Day and night and twilight too
mix the days as we live along
Bits of gold are here and there
but certainly not the norm
as not all that glitters
is really gold
Ah, but life can be good!
Christmas and Easter
Thanksgiving and parades
Graduations and weddings
lace our lives with happiness
Discovering the opposite sex
and all that comes thereafter
can be a life of golden moments
We even cap the 50 years
as ‘golden anniversaries’….
might well be: ‘go for the gold’
at the Olympics
gold measures the mettle, acclaims it proudly
The Good Book paints the picture
of a place of many mansions
and having ‘streets of gold’
Ah, the ending is another beginning
in the twinkling of an eye we are changed!
Take note, please,
we’ve been alerted!
A bride and groom march down the isle!
A baby is born!
There are graduations!
And finally, a celebration of life is held….
Set your sails!
Hold the course!
Head for the streets of gold!
