Age

Age is a no return journey Prevailing for our involuntary taking A standard paced tally Of God's own making Its greatness is mercy The footprint count keeps adding There is a childhood of innocence A youth of hopes and dreams A middle age risking resentments And out of old age, there streams The wisdom of courtesy and sense That fits today’s wanting themes Age is reward To see and share many a dawn Share your wisdom in God's regard Invoke virtue into intention For silence can be wayward When thousands of ears pay attention
